very tricky finding somehwere that would do that in KZ, but if you take a short detour North (I assume you are heading into Mongolia) there is quite a good bike place in Novosibirsk (as long as you are on a jap bike) called NBS Motor (written HBC MOTOP in Cyrillic) website is www.nbsmotor.ru they should be pretty helpful and Novosibirsk is only a few hours ride north from Barnaul anyway.

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.
