I should be in Bishkek around the end of the month/early September... looking for a place to stay a few days and hopefully to store my bike (bicycle) a few weeks while I buy/ride a horse (still working on the plan for this).
Does Memo have an email contact? If I can't get a horse, I could hire a bike

Wesley - if we're in town around the same time, wouldn't mind meeting up for coffee/ to talk bikes (and any other bull you like) - got my eye on a DRZ400 for a future trip...

I don't think Memo is inmate here and I don't know if he is in Bishkek now.
I think gps coordinates may not be as accurate (I remember someone saying they were not).
To find his house, just go straight on Manas going north, you will have a turn right and left at one point: you will be almost arrived
Then there is a left turn you should take if I remember correctly
His house is in the short offroad section in the city center:-)


PS: just checked on google maps, should be here

I found it...or rather the navtel cheap satnav app did.
Memo is in Italy at the moment and as it is out of season I'm the only guest. A great guesthouse with everything needed being provided and much more. They now have a second guesthouse too further out in Kapakoa. The rental bikes will be going out there and five newer bikes with electric starts are planned for bishkek.Kyrgyzstan, Guesthouse in Bishkek-uploadfromtaptalk1400755848718.jpg

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.
