Hi Jasong,

I'm in Rishikesh, India.

I'm also planning to fly from Kathmandu to Thailand, some time in September or October 03.

There is a saving to made if you ship two or more bike togther, the Kg price below 500Kg is @ $1.37 Us & above is $1.07 US, also you only need one Air bill, which saves @ $100 US.

Also I think it would be easer with two people to get your bikes out of customs & the airport!!

I'm in no rush but you may be!

I've been in India 12 mounths now & have spent 8 mounths in Nepal, but I'm still looking forward to be back in Nepal!

Ride Free, Ride Safe, Ride one more mile,


Rik & Changeling

But it would be nice to meet up some were.

Hi All,

I will also be heading the same route, leaving Scotland the first week in Sept, but heading quite quickly towards Turkey. Probably get there about the 15th. E-mail me if you would like to meet up.

Kenny

Cheers for all the replies!

We are currently in Istanbul and in a couple of days time we will head south following the coast.

Wex - how far off are you?
KiwiPete - sounds like you'll be there for ages, hopefully catch you in a few months!
Kenny - we'll be in Turkey for 3 or 4 weeks, email us when/if you're coming south.
bmwpd - are you in Turkey still?
richard - hope you got our email - may catch up with you soon?

Hope you (and your bikes) are all well and having fun.

Marcel

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.
