Hi Ted
Been reading your posts. Been planning to do this trip for the past 2 years. 2015 would be perfect timimg for me. I want to go from UK ( Shrewsbury ) to Magadan. Not sure on the return leg. Maybe ship bike home and train/fly?????
If youre still up for it maybe get back to me and we could meet up for a pint somewhere. Youre not that far away from me.

Does anyone know realistically what this trip would cost ??

Ignoring bike and equipment.. If one were to camp a lot, could it be done on £5000 ???

Visas alone will probably cost near £1000. Fuel another £2000. Getting oneself and bike home, £1500-£2000.

I think I've just answered my own question. This might be one for the Barclaycard, 'Boff'...

Hi Ted,

Visas about right. Depend which ones you apply for.
Fuel might be quite cheap once in Russia and Stans.
Transport yourself: my Russian teacher looked at quotes from Irkutsk to Moscow for bikes on the trans Siberian train, and it is very reasonable. You might get awaylightly. I will confirm when I come back in august! Then if you travel back on the train as well to Moscow, again rather cheap. Especially 3rd class

I will let you know about our costs at the end if you like. Visas and vaccines expensive though!
Maybe catch up at Nick Nadine Les house when we are all back and before you leave... If our agendas match one day!!

Hi! Ted,
Me and 4 others (maybe) are planning to go Eastward direction passing the Stans, Russia, Mongolia and China before turning South towards South East Asia starting from Hamburg, Germany in May 2015. It would be great if we could meet up somewhere.
Planning is much interesting as the ride itself.
Catch up mate.

Are any of you guys who are keen for Russia Jun - Aug 2015 going to keep heading east to North / South America?

I'm still planning my route, but if I can share a container to Nth America I'd be keen.

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.
