Pakistan to Istanbul, Turkey

Has anyone flown their bike from somewhere in Pakistan to Istanbul? I am having trouble getting an Iran visa so am unable to ride across.

Flying a bike from Pakistan or India to Turkey ?

Sorry for double posting.............but this looks like a more appropriate (if out of date) thread that someone might pick-up on ?????


Being ever the pressimist, I'm looking at options should I not get an Iranian visa approval number in the next couple of weeks ?

As such has anyone had any recent experience of crating and shipping a bike from either India (Delhi) or Pakistan (Islamabad or Karachi) to Turkey (anywhere) ?

Any contacts, prices, suggestions much appreciated.................

Cheers

Pete

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.
