I have tons of questions and i have read quite a bit on the forum but then, the temptation to start a thread and get into a real conversation is too much. So here goes:
My name is Chanderjeet and I have been a long time member here and on ADVRider. I am from India but have been in Sweden for some time. I want to take a bike ride back home. What are you suggestions and how would you go about planning this?
- Which bike should I look into which is not expensive, easy to maintain as I do not know much about the machinery. I can do small repairs but nothing big.
- Which is the easiest route?
- Which is the most scenic route?
- How much time should I be looking at?
- Advisories, areas to avoid?
- Stuff to carry and avoid?
- Expert advise and any other things.
I am planning this for 2017. So please do pour in with your suggestions and think of it as if you are planning it for yourself
Cheers,
Chanderjeet

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.
