Thanks

Canadian trip

Hi Owen,

Should be in your part of the world by mid / late May 2016. Will make contact when I am closer. I also have a school friend who lives in Kelowna
and he rides a Cruiser. Hope to stay with him for at least one night.
Ride safe.

I'm planing on leaving about 1st week in May, I'll be stopping off in Greece, corfu, for two weeks as I'm getting married, while in corfu I'll be doing some modifications to my xt to prepare for the long hall.
My bike is now striped and off to the powder coaters, I'm rebuilding two engines one as a back up in case I need to have it sent out to me,,,touch wood,,,
Now that I've got my route sorted I can now plan visas,

matching plans

hi Lowrider,
I'm planning my trip along the same lines as you.
I'm on a 2009 tenere 660. just getting it all rigged out with sat nav, lights, engine protection etc.
I'm waiting on the sale of my house then I'm free to go with no return date.

I'm based in East Yorkshire mate so would be easy to meet and discuss some plans.
Ian

I too, am planning to ride either to Magadan or Vladivostok in 2016. I'm hoping to enter Russia from Georgia at the Verkhiny Lars - Darial Gap crossing - as far as I can tell, it's still open.

I'd be interested in speaking with anyone doing a similar route.

How smitty
With all that's going on in Europe I'm waiting to see what's the best crossing from Georgia to Russia then ride up the railway line to the border of kazikstan, I've booked the ferry from Newcastle to Holland on the 5 th may so that's my stating point and time, I need to be in corfu for the 26th then I leave to travel across Greece, according to my plan and visa times it should take me 17 days to make it to the Mongolian border, then from that point I'm not planing a great deal as you know it's the Unknown, I know it's not a detailed plan but that's how I work, I'm trying to get over to Vancouver before the end of August.
If you want to pm me then please do so, there is two of us I'm on my 1985 tenere 600, Iain will be on his 660 tenere.

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.
