In Turkey,that is available only in İstanbul at Atatürk Airport.
You dont need carnet for Turkey.You will get the exit stamp on your passport page also.
Never buy your flight ticket until you get the exit stamp.
You must have it crated and deliveried to airport customs area first then x ray tunnel and airline ware house.They are at the same place close to each other but you need to hire a lifter...

Airfreight cost to Bangkok including customs formalities will be around 2.000 EUROS. depending on the volume,weight,dangerous good or not,etc.

And crate materials here will cost about 250 euros if we do the crate together. Club garage is available as long as we are here..
(metal case covered with wood and strong for lifters)

You can get price offers from all flight and freezone companies at the airport here.Difference is freezone companies do all the paperwork themselves.
DHL. or other's prices are minimum twice.

Any question from biker friends is always welcome...

Wish you all the best.

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.
