HI Asia riders to meet in Pakistan

I´ve seen in some post, riders going through Pakistan asking to meet riders or info about how is the situation.
Seeing we are a few going the same period of time, here you have some theads:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-october-58449

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-company-57683

... there is more. We could try and see if its possible to meet somewhere and have a little HU met, eventualy even crossing Pakistan on group.

I am planing to get there around end of September, begining of October.
Could flex my dates a bit.

October and Novembers have the best weather in Pakistan although high mountains start getting cold.
Ideal time for biking and GTGs.

go for it guys - anything we can do to help, just ask! All you need to do is set a date and place, and people will find their way there.

So many bikers in the area,some of them were in İstanbul a while ago.. I am still in touch with them and sent messages all to check this thread.
Our members are very happy and respectful for the hospitality and friendship they have lived in Lahore.
Cahit is in İran by BMW.plated TR-35 and will also be in the area until october..After mid sept. some more friends will be in Lahore and some different passes to be the first Turkish bikers there.
I also take this as a chance to thank again to all kardesh bikers in Pakistan aspecially in Lahore and Islamabad.
Sugar,milk,flavour ready,the only need is a light to cook the halva.(TR.saying)
I think will be better after Ramazan as I believe everybody will be pleased to respect Islamic Ramazan traditions.
Lets keep this thread alive.

Best wishes and hayırlı ramazanlar.

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.
