Im in Islamabad waiting for an Iranian transit visa which has taken 14 days so far (yawn). I will be at the Tourist Park from tomorrow and will stay for upto a week before giving up and shipping the bike back to Oz as I'm running out of time. It would be great to meet up with anyone thats traveling through.

Hi marcel,

When do you plan to be in India?

I'm back in Delhi, I have a little work to make on Changeling (my R80Tic BMW) than I plan to make my way to Nepal to fly out to Thailand!!

What are your plans?

I would like to fly my self & my bike with some eles, as there are some savings to be made & it would be nice to travel with some one for a change.


Ride free, Ride safe, Ride one more mile,


Rik & changeling

Hi Rik

Our plans are constantly changing but at a rough estimate we were planning to spend the month of November in India (we hadn't really planned for Nepal (bit cold?) and not enough money) but were planning on a couple of weeks in Thailand and then maybe one in Malaysia (flying out of KL). It's bound to change though so we'll keep in contact. We are keen to ship with someone else too!

Keep in touch

Marcel

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
