Uk - Turkey
Me and my wife have decided that next years holiday can be my holiday, so we're planning to go two up on my DL650 V-Strom. I've decided we'll travel to Istanbul but would really like some advice on the route, costs, places to avoid and time it will take. We plan on camping all the way to keep the cost down and we don't want to be on the bike riding first thing in the morning until last thing at night. Any help in planning this trip will be greatly received.

I rode from Bristol to Istanbul last August/September. If you have half as good a time as I did, you'll have a ball. Click on my link below for details.

You may have already realised it, but few people are likely to see your post on a thread titled "UK-Turkey" : It needs to be in a thread of its own or as a reply to a related existing thread.

I did UK-Turkey a few years ago and went down through the Balkans, fantastic route - make sure you visit Lake Ohrid, I wasn't planning on going anywhere near it but got a bit lost, very glad I did, you'll see why when you get there.
My total route (as far as Turkey) went UK-FR -IT - Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia/Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania, possibly Macedonia (was a bit lost) Greece, Turkey. Awesome time, great people, interesting roads.

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.
