We are in Chelasiborsk heading East. Should be in Omsk and Baikal, Ulaan Ude this June. If anyone is near us soon then the trip to Ulaan Bataar could be together.
Fillings in my teeth loose after a month on Russian roads,

Fritz,
I'm right behind you man! Currently in Dogubayazit and gonna be heading to Tbilisi via Kars, but I won't be there until the 30th. Will you have left by then?
From there I'm heading north into Russia and Kazakhstan, but my Tajik visa starts on 10th June, so hooking up with you and whoever in Samarkand would be great.
Looks like there's a lot of bikes heading east this year...
Laters, JD

Tbilisi - bike theft
Hi Guys,
Keep your eyes on your bikes in Tbilisi!!
One hungarian guy's KTM950ADv was stolen in Tbilisi some days ago. Bikes parked in front of the hotel, the owner forgot to lock the handlebar and one local "transportation manager" pushed the bike to a nearby dead end. Fortunatelly the owner noticed in the evening his bike missing. Called the police and the bike was found at night. Next morning at 11.am was closed the investigation and owner got back his KTM.

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.
