Thanks for the update and the photos. I feel like I am there.

I will be one day, in 2014.
Thank you, Ross. You're right, too much other riding (and reporting on it...), work and just normal life often get in the way of keeping this account of my trip going - sorry about this.

But hey, I look forward to your report in 2014 then!

A fantastic trip report, thanks for sharing!

I agree with your comments on the bribing, it takes 2 to make a bribe work and both parties are in the wrong.

Pumpy,

I have been waiting for this to continue.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
