Well...............I'm already a day behind. Because if it could go wrong it has. Most importantly my V5 doc for the bike is nowhere to be found. It simply isn't in the purple folder with the four other vehicles V5. Any idea where it might be? ( I have looked under carpets )

Update a few hours later. Gave up looking ordered a new one. Got an email temp V5 to cover me .........hopefully ?

Having just returned from the trip I can say that of the two weeks we spent in and around Turkey only two days in the south of the country were HOT ( 40 something!) the rest ranged from very "warm" to very cold & wet.

Overall it was hot where I expected it to be hot and cooler where I expected. Would I go in August again? Yes probably.........

However............camping in the south is not too good. Get a cheap hotel with aircon! I expected that too

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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

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.
