Iran (??)
Hello all,
At the mo ravelling in Oz and enjoying it (except that is an ver-regulated country..)
Have heard rumours tha Iran (where we were last July) has banned all foreign vehicles entering!! What's true abot this rumour??????????
We have read in the newspaper yesterday here n OZ that fuelprices have gone up with 25% in Iran (so now it is $0.03 instead of $0.02....bummer) and that the fuel is rationed o 3 litres a day.
Wonder really if you can't enter Iran anymore as ths would be sh*t for general overland travel.

Hi,
I've just got fresh information for you from my Iranian friend. According to new legistlation done by Ahmetinejat government, they give you a card or something like voucher. This voucher allows you to get 50 L. petrol for $0.20 per liter. After that you have to pay $0.80 per liter. World is changing so does the Iran. No more cheap petrol.
However, he (my friend) told that things are changing very fast in Iran, so no one knows what gonna happen after 10 days.
But this is the situation for now. Hope this helps.
Good Luck

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.
