Are there any other Riders in this wonderful community who wants to ride the same way which i could join for a while?
It would be great to have some company while riding through Russia and possibly Kazakhstan, on my way to Uzbekistan.
My name is Wieland, and I'm 35 years old. This is my first motorcycle tour. In the past, most of my adventures were sailing boats or riding bicycle.
Now, I'm embarking on a long journey that will span 4.5 months and cover 20,000 km. It's all because of an old dream of mine to travel the Pamir region, particularly Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
I started my tour in Berlin on May 2, 2023, passing through the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
Currently, I'm on my way to Georgia and anticipate arriving in Tbilisi on June 2nd or 3rd."
My plan is to reach the Pamir Highway by June 15th and arrive in Bishkek by July 15th. After Bishkek, I will be heading back to Germany.
Would be really nice to hear something from someone.

Hi WLND. I hope you managed to do this trip. It sounds fascinating. We are considering the same in summer 24. If so, can you share your route and experiences? Many thanks

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.
