Hi Scots

HI

i wish you all the best and it will be very nice and enjoyable ride
do you want to ship it throw Air or Sea Fright?
if you used any of the both ways, you will need 1 day just to clear the bike from Istanbul port.
additional to that you will be paying almost the same amount of shipping to clear the bike.
i got those 2 things from friends who shipped thier bikes to Istanbul.

i ship my bike last year to Athens and all the process was perfect i just collect the bike and ride it away, i didnt deal with any paper work.

if you need any additional info, please send me PM
we will be spending the weekend in Sur, it will be nice to meet you if you are free during the weekend.

Regards
Saleh

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.
