Osh, Kyrgyzstan

Will be arriving in Osh later August early September 2012, will be spending a couple of night here before we enter China via the Taldyk Pass, can anyone recommend a bike friendly Garage or Hotel etc, where we can do all the Vehicle servicing and prep work, a good secure place ideally.

Recommended accom is TES Guesthouse, near the stadium. The car market is up the big long hill, near the monument on the big hill (or was it a radiomast? Or maybe a somesort of religeous thing?, sorry, am culturally dyslexic ). You're sure to find something up that way if you're wanting to do the work yourself and just needa place to work.

Enjoy Kyrg. It's my favourite country in Central Asia.

Coords in deg.min.something of TES: N40 31.340 E72 48.163

They have covered parking but you'd have to ask if you can work on your vehicle there.

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.
