I plan to ride Europe, East Europe then Scandinav countries dont know yet
if ill go to iceland (we’ll see the $) after cross through Russia to visit Mongolia, China, India et heading to Indonesia we’ll see after what happen.

if you want to do inceland you need to book the ferry way early.
i booked my tickets for August this year in January and even back then the cabins were almost all taken.

China could be tricky as has been pointed out here often.
Never did it before myself but you need a Chinese Drivers License, Plates and a sactioned Guide to accompany you the entire time which doesnt come cheap(buddy of mine who did it said something along the line of 2k € from the border to beijing).

just my opinion here ofc but the part of sweden you're doing, well, its flat and its forest and thats pretty much it.
if i were you id rather take the norwegian atlantic coast, slower progress but waaaaaaaaaaay more beautiful.
also, if you're up there and not doing nordkapp its heresy :-)

im starting a similar trip in april 2017, probably gonne be in iran in early may.

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.
