Hiya Seamus

Well wrap up warm till southern Iran!

If you are around India/Nepal in the first few months of the new year let me know cos i should still be there till about Feb/March time. Currently in Iran with a vague plan to be in india at Xmas, there maybe a travellers xmas beach party in Goa!

Have a good, safe trip which hopefully will not be to cold and wet at the start.

Hi Seamus.
Good luck and good roads to you on your trip.. When you arrive in NZ, look us up. We would love to hear your stories. Our plan is to do it the other way in a couple of years.

Regards

Nigel in NZ

Hi!
There is still someone coming after me? I wouldnt have believed it! I am in Esfahan at the moment, had some problems on the bike in Theran and after that an accident here in Esfahan, so iran is taking its time. But it seems you are quite fast, maybe you catch up, would be nice to meet. I am planning to take two more weeks for Iran, then about four Pakistan.
Keep in touch!
See you
jens
(Vincent is still in Iran, too, about 5 days ahead of me)

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.
