Hi there.
I'm interested in this information, please could you send address of the forwarder because it is impossible from here (france) to get any reliable information.
I'm used to travel with my 4x4 (4WD) in Africa, with my friends.
This time, I'm alone, and I plan to cross europe, Ukrain, Kazakhstan and other x'stan countries, then Mongolia and russia to Magadan... or to Anadyr. From there I want to go to Alaska.
I would be there (Magadan or Anadyr) 1st december 2008.

How can I ship my car from russia to Alaska? Is it possible? In December? Or any other suggestion!
Thank you for the answers.
Reynald

I remember, road is not used 1 and half year. I think it will be hard to drive on car. river in some places pick up the path. will need a shovel and a lot of power. :-)
This year it was dry. In August, we drove through the road without the help of trucks.

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.
