Message to the world from friendly bikers...s...

They were in İstanbul a while ago and in Pakistan now..This is not a western media news but reality:

Message to the world
Many Pakistanis were asking us if our experience in their country matches the bad image of Pakistan created by a Western media. We felt that they are suffering because of this wrong image so we would like to send a message to the world through you, our blog reader, about a nice, colourful and welcome country in the world where every traveler could feel like a king and get one of the nicest experience in his life.
Please say about it to your friends as well!


Now our parents can have again a good night sleep because the most dangerous countries in their eyes - Iran and Pakistan - are crossed!
FRIENDLY

We highly recommend everybody to get in touch with them about biking in Iran,Pakistan and India.
We would like to get this a chance to thank our Pakistani friends for the warm hospitality for Turkish bikers also , and send our best wishes to all friends in Pakistan..

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

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.
