Hello you have planed a great journey :-) Russia isn’t ugly at all, but it has some features because it was closed from the world for years. I can advise you to contact with russian bike travelers, give them questions, take there phone numbers and etc. http://www.mototravels.ru/forum.php http://sinus.vl.ru/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4 And we will help u there

Hi Engel, hope you dont think I am saying Russia is bad,ugly or dangerous - I love travelling there and I have only ever found the people really friendly, helpful and mostly honest - often much more so than many western places, however problems such as accidents injuries etc are a nightmare anywhere when you dont speak the language so my suggestion for the Mig security was for those not confident in travelling to your country it was not a knock at Russia -just another tool that is available to help out when in trouble of some sort.
I was meant to be Back in Russia this year but an injury and loss of wages has just stopped my trip till next year. maybe when I am over it would be good to meet up on my travels. All the best Jake.

Hi Leonie,
I start at the beginning of April from Munich heading east, towards Hungary, Romania and then south towards Turkey. So I think we could possibly have the same route in the beginning and I'd be glad to ride together for a while.
I see that you'll be sitting on a MZ as well. I bought a little 251 and want to see how far she makes it...
cheers, Andi

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.
