5 Attachment(s)
I have just ridden from the UK to Goa, India. On a BMW 1200gs, Passing through Iran and Pakistan.
Really I just wanted to say the journey is still very possible. The Pakistan visa is tough to get... I didn't mention motorcycles or crossing from Iran! A few photos below. 27 days Loughborough, England to Arambol, Goa, India. approximately 7200 miles If you are planning a trip to India take a look at my blog david2somewhere ..... David's 2013 overland motorcycle trip England to India on a BMW 1200 gs Enjoy your adventures, any questions about riding to India, send me a message Peace, David |
Love to do that trip. Maybe one day.
But, how did you get back? |
I left the bike in India. I flew back to the UK and will return in a few months to continue riding in India and then send it onto Thailand for a ride down to Australia. If anyone has good contacts for shipping from India to Thailand I would love the info.
Regards, D |

Well done on trip so far and all on cast alloy wheels, you little tinker 'breaking' all those forum 'rules':smiliex: |
Hi KateandWill,
Thanks for the royal reply. I will check out EagleEyes. Those alloys.... I think, finally you just get on a motorcycle and ride it. The alloys might crack or a talibani might kidnap you but it's more likely to be a black buffalo on an unlit road or a truck driver overtaking a truck overtaking a truck. You've got to be a little vary about those forums! Peace D |
Shipping my bmw 1200 gs back to the UK from India
I decided to end my ride in India because of mounting work commitments.
I have shipped my bike back by sea freight. It is currently with Customs at Felixstowe. So far the service from the Indian Agent I have used has been superb. I will do a shipping report in the right place on the HUBB shortly... Peace David |
