Lightbulb China from Laos/Vietnam to Kazachstan/Mongolia Feb-Mar 2019
Update

Hi riders,

I am planning a road trip from New Zealand to europe on my own XL 700v. By this I am looking for somebody who would like to join trip through China. As my title say the date is for now open between feb- mar same as entrance and exit. I´d rather go through mongolia exit to see this country as well. I was a bit worry about the stories I read about the expensive agency guides prices so I prefer to go independently, without a guide because its been done many times so its possible. In one way would be deffinetely usefull to have a guide because some police or people could make troubles and this could help sort things out but that could happen anywhere. But if we can make a group and share guide expences then I am also keen for that.If anybody would like to discuss this trip let me know please and so I appreciate to hear any other points of view and ideas.

Regards Jakub

Hi, thank you for answer. I guess you go with some campervan dont you? April would be for me already too late as I keep going to czech where I would like to be till beginning of june, may at the best, if things go good. You would like to go independently(no guide)?

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.
