Two Ride Pamir

We are a team made up father and son, based in Bucharest, Romania.

Driven by our adventure spirit we plan on travelling the Central Asia Region, along the Pamir Highway and the legendary Silk Road.

The route will follow 15.000 kilometers and 12 countries. Starting from Romania to Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Kazahstan, Kyrgystan, Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey and Bulgaria.

We will be riding BWM F650 Gs Dakar and BMW F650 Gs motorbikes, one of the most suitable for this kind of adventure.

Stay tuned as we upload the progress in fulilling our dream !

when will you be coming through Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan? Just say a couple BMW 650s ride through...sadly didn't get to meet the riders. There's a small group of bikers who live here, let us know when you're coming through and we'll help y'all any way we can.

I'd be happy to, but I have a friend in town and we'll probably be coming back toward Bishkek then. I'll probably be free on the 21st or maybe the afternoon of the 20th. I can, however, help you get set up with a good place to stay ahead of time if you need. I'll send you a PM.

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.
