so in some months ( thats india time, right)
im gonna set out from india westward, counter BMW traffic ,
go west, via pakistan-iran-turkey...
will mount a "local" laid back sort of bike, enfield or that japanese brand.first will tour india and get to know the bike and then "chelo pakistan".

did quite extensive research over the last year, but anything can happen, and will appreciate whatever info and advice.

issues that will still bother me :
1 - carnet for nepal baught bike ( have no motor-association back home ,panama )
2 - iran/pakistan visas and escorts
3 - road conditions
4 - good food hole-in-the-wall spots

India Feb '10 - ???

Should be getting my Indian visa tomorrow, expect to show up in Delhi or Mumbai in early February. Plan to get an Enfield and tool around a couple months, then head West (probably with a more reliable and Nepalese-purchased machine) if I can get Pak/Iranian visas; otherwise will fly to SE Asia and rent goofy 125-250's in different countries for a while. Sorry to be so vague, but that's as much planning as I'm capable of beforehand (other than sore arms from shots today, and still trying to contact the Canadians RE carnet stuff just in case the visas really do work out). Could be that your "some months" and my "when and if I get visas" will coincide. :confused1:

without carnet

Hey!

I'm arriving in India in a couple of weeks but will be hanging around India Nepal for a couple of months probably before I head west.

You say you've been hearing reports of people getting through without carnet? Tell me more!

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.
