Iran, Syria, Turkey
Off to the Middle East early September. The plan is to do the Black Sea coast before dropping down to Iran for 2-3 weeks. Back into Turkey and then Syria before the return leg at the end of October. All provided I can get an Iranian visa (the rules have changed).
Anybody heading in that direction around the same time? Might be useful to link up for a  or a friendly face every now and then:

That looks good. I'll post a rough outline of my route and dates if and when I get my Iran visa. I will also keep in touch when I'm on the road.

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.
