LETS DO THIS!
Same route, same dates. If everything goes according to plan, I would love to make this trip on my 03 Africa Twin as swiftly, cheaply, and efficiently as possible. Hit me up too!

Im also potentially in...we are two motorcycles looking to make the crossing from India to Kazakhstan via Pakistan and China. May 1 could also work as a date for us. So that is two more people. The big issue for us is price so if we get enough people to come and can drive the price down then we would seriously consider joining. Feel free to contact me directly if anyone wants to talk more about this...

The cost of the shipping option doesn't sound like that much of a money saver if there was even a tiny group formed to ride through China.
Anyone looking to do this ride?
I'm still looking for contacts!

Hi – we are 2-up on a Honda XL650V Transalp, riding in stages, from New Zealand to England.
Right now (w.e.f December-20th) the bike is temporary stored in Pokhara, Nepal, whilst we make a visit back home for Christmas etc .. and to earn some more travelling money!
We are returning to Nepal around the first week of April next year (2014) to pick-up the journey westwards again.
The current thinking is to then ride from Nepal → across northern India → Pakistan → Iran → Turkey. However, your northern route could be a viable alternative. BUT [thinking out loud] .. will the high passes be open and navigable that early in the year? I dunno?
We’re certainly interested, as by going north we would avoid the hassles associated with riding through Balochistan and southeast Iran.
In short, I/we are very interested in joining you - subject to dates /costing confirmation, etceteras. Please keep in touch if you progress all this.
Thanks
Keith [& Ellen]
btw - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
