Iran and escorts

To put this comment of escorts into perspective, it is only a problem if you are going to the south east of Iran near Pakistan and Afghanistan. The rest of Iran is safe and you will not need (read be obliged) to have escorts. For us coming from Pakistan we had army cadets take our passports and hitch-hike in cars or trucks as we followed. We stopped at each checkpoint waiting for the junior cadet(s) to follow with our passports. This went on from the border (Mirjaveh/Taftan, also written Meer Jawa) until Bam. It was slow hot and unpleasant.
After the escorts stopped we really enjoyed Iran and found everyone, without exception very friendly. We obviously respected the dress codes and the local laws, ie don't take photos of government or military installations and the like.

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.
