Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan Oct/Nov 2008

Hi,

I will be in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in Oct/Nov 2008. Just wondering if there are any other bikers in that region during this period. Would be happy to meet up.

Cheers.

We'll be there

Hi

We (my wife and I) are hoping to be there around the same time. We are travelling in a 4x4 though, not bikes.

We're hoping to cross the Pamir, depending on weather!!

Let us know if you want to meet up maybe...

Cheers

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.
