Second leg advice please
Greetings,
I'm planning Around the World Tour (AWT) in 2007 and am busy planning the first leg - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador, TransCanada, Rockies, USA, Mexico etc,etc to Argentina. Then come up the other side by shipping the bike to New Zealand, then Australia, and that's where I run out of steam. I've read on the HUBB that China is no go unless you have big bucks, which I don't, but would like to ride through Mongolia, Russia, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany etc and back in time for tea!!(about a year later<img>)
So any suggestions as to a route between Australia and Mongolia please.
Oh and if I'm riding part of what you are doing at the time, then the company would be nice.

In the same boat...
Hi Stag, I'm in Argentina now and will be flying to Australia in two weeks or so. From Melbourne or Sydney I plan to ride to Darwin. From there the bike and I will fly to Singapore. After riding to Bangkok I plan on flying from there to Mongolia, skipping China. As I get closer I'll work out the details and let you know what I find. If I make it from Bangkok to Mongolia I'll post a detailed account on the shipping page and message you when I do. Good luck! Dave.

Think your cheapest option is fly/ship to Japan and ship to Russia and ride from there?

China maybe do-able
Sorry folks been off line for a couple of weeks.
Back now.
Someone at the Belgium meeting suggested that I buy a ticket for the 2008 Olympics (even synchonised swimming ![Lol2](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/lol.gif) ) and use that to see if I can prise my way in. They will have to be more open then surely.
Waddya think?

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.
