Hi,

So there's really no need to bring extra fuel?
We're in Tehran now and plan to cross the border around october 20 when our visas run out. Would be nice to meet some of you other bikers out there.

Simon

Hi Simon we are now in the Bloom Star Hotel and no problems with the crossing no armed guards they just waved us through but we are stuck as the rear suspension has gone and waiting for at least a week for spares so will probably see you at Quetta.

The road to dalabin is good then it gets worse if you cross first thing in the morning you could make Quetta. took us 8 hours.

Good luck

crossing the border around 20. October

I am currently in Esfahan and will go via Shiraz, Kermam to Zahedan. I expect to be ready around 20. October. Anyone willing to team up in Zahedan or Kermam with me ? I am one up on a XTZ 750 Super Tenere.

hi,
i´m currently in Ercis,Van Gölü,Turkey.
i think the 20. is to early for me to be in Zahedan, but maybe you enjoy Shiraz so much so you reach the frontier later as thought ;-)

greetings
Helmut

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.
