As the saying goes " This ain't my first rodeo". The romantic idea of traveling alone in a far distant land, meeting all challenges, and lolling in the admiration of those less valiant is way overrated. The first time you drop the fully loaded bike you will be thrilled someone is along.

My plan is simple. I will be leaving Ireland early April and Istanbul mid-May. I am going across Turkey, the Caspian and the Stans. I will be in Mongolia end of July to August. I plan to spend a month riding around Mongolia.

Then I will go to eastern Russia. Time and weather will dictate the route. Magadan via the Old Summer Road would be great, same with parts of the BAM road. I know that by early October it gets wet, cold and dark in Siberia. So I will go home then. I will figure that out later.

Fritz, that is precisely my point, I have had my share of travelling alone, can be good but with the right company is usually much better! The list is growing, currently 7 people and waiting for input of 3 more. Will be continued!
Cheers,
Noel

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,
Nigel

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.
