If you are coming down through Hungary, I can recommend a cheap bike shop that has a wide range of parts.
Cheers

Hi, I was in Xanthia( Greece ) which is not too far from Turkey. There was a number of motorcycle dealers which were helpful and friendly. Nice place for a stop over. Andy

Ahhhh....  what a small world
I remember you two Hell-riders on the right in that picture.... we where sitting together at you camp, chatting and joking with some Cay or was it  (yeah must have been  )... do you remember that British and that German guy who gave you a few of this KTM scarf's ?
good fun you lot
next time I manage to get to Istanbul I'm definitely pay you a visit that's for sure.
thanks for the info
Fantastic Mister Fox... sorry for hijacking your post... but.. well if you go to Istanbul I highly recommend you to see Mehmet, he and his friend will help you out and I'm sure you could let some spares and or tires be shipped to them, even before you cross the Turkish border... you may ask "Prisoner621" (that's the British guy I meed in Alexandropoli and the Bursa festival) he did spend a few days with Mehmet in Istanbul while he had to wait for his Iran visa last year.

Hi Mehmet,
is this still up to date? We might be in need of a place close to the Iran-border to sent a parcel to!
By the way: where is dogbiscuit? Is that slang for Dogubayazit?
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.
