Iran
Merhaba, coupleriders.net!
We will be passing Istanbul on bikes (Yamaha TT600R, Ducati Monster750, Triumph Tiger 955) end of July to Iran (arrival in Tehran around 8th August).
We live in Tehran, so if you need help or a place to come by, let us know.
Greets,
Daniel

Hi
Hi Daniel and all,
I will arrive at Tehran from Turkey by my motorcycle F650GS solo around on Oct. 2014.
Can I drop in your home?
Then, I will go to India and Nepal through Pakistan.
I want to go through Iran-Pakistan border with other bikers or drivers.
If some one have same plan around on Oct.,please let me know.
I will send back my motorcycle from India by ship or Nepal by air to Japan around on Dec.2014.
I will depart from Japan on this May to Europe, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India and Nepal through Russia for six months.
Thanks,
Tamaaki Wakata

Besides this my wife Annette and me we plan to fly to Germany in July 2014 and return with bikes (TT600R and Ducati Monster 750 - yep, nice couple, so are we!) drive back to Tehran until August 7th or so.
Ferry from Ancona to Igoumenitsa is booked for July 23rd.
Regarding Balouchestan:
it is a bit critical to go past the border in southeast Iran because of tribal territory. Friends who passed thru (with motorbikes, car, even as hitchhikers) have made it without any problems. But it needs to be considered a bit risky. On the Iranian side of the border you will be escorted by police anyhow. The issue is on the Pakistani side where there seems to be no rule of law.
One solution is to form groups of vehicles using traveller's forums in advance. In summer it's not high season so plan some time to find company.
European embassies do not give visa support for the Pakistani Embassy in Tehran, so you have to have the visas issued before.
Skipping Pakistan by flying to Dubai/Oman and then to India is an option. But so far I have no positive information regarding shipment of vehicles. It is definitively possible, but rather difficult to organize as foreigner...
Questions?
Feel free to ask.
Iran is definitively worth a trip!!
Greets from snow-packed Tehran,
Daniel

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.
