I'm getting plenty of practice at my very poor schoolboy French right now... Depending on the weather tomorrow I might get as far as the German border where I can again fail to comprehend the language

Ukraine.

anyone who is traveling east from Europe towards Russia and Mongolia, I am living in Ukraine and available to assist/offer accomadtion etc.

During my trip to Mongolia last summer, I was hosted and assisted by many great people, and would like to do the same.

I am located just outside Kiev, close to Borispol airport.

I can provide good up to date information about Eastern Ukraine, routes across the country and which borders are open/best to use.
I can offer camping/accomadtion, assistance with servicing, language, finding spare parts....just general support and assistance, if it's needed.
Failing that, a place to park the bike, a , fireplace and a place to crash.

One can contact me on ryanjohnhall at gmail dot com which I check fairly frequently.

Peaceful, safe and fun travels...

I'm fine thanks Wildman. Battered and bruised rather than broken - could have been a lot worse. Bike needs a whole new front end, it's not practical to fix in Turkey, so it's flying home today / tomorrow. With me following as soon as I know it's left.
Garage in Manchester is ready to receive it.

Dave, I feel your pain. My husband (Roynie) and I were due to ride from Inagh (in the West of Ireland) to China. We left on 26th April, but I had a really innocuous accident on a gravel road, just inside the Russian border and broke my left fibula on 4th May.

Roynie is carrying on and is now in Almaty, due join up with GlobeBusters' Ace to Ace Expedition next week in Kyrgyzstan to ride to Beijing, while I am 'resting' at home with my elderly mother in the Isle of Wight!

However - and the reason I am posting here - I need to go back and collect my bike from Moscow next month, and I plan to ride east via the Trans-Siberian Hwy to Ulanbaatar and meet Roynie for the ride home. As most here will know, that's over 6,000 km, so I wouldn't be averse to some complany ...

Start / Finish: Moscow / Ulanbaatar
User: mrsroynie
Route: Trans-Siberian Hwy: Moscow, Nizhniy Novgorod, Kazan, Izhevsk, Ekaterinburg, Tyumen, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Mariinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tulun, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude, Ulanbaatar
Main Dates: 6th - 23rd July approx
Vehicle: BMW R1150 GS
Notes:Deliberately taking it easy and sticking to tarmac ...
Links:www.inaghtochina.com or follow us on Facebook. NB If you are kind enough to think of following us on Facebook, I would be grateful if you don't mention this plan as, following the earlier disappointment, Roynie and I are keeping this one up our sleeves as a bit of a surprise for our supporters at home.

I post this here, even if it is not in 2015 but in 2017. Still its a great thread and maybe somone will be on the road then as well

Well we are not 100% sure about the route and there will be 3 parts (first to SEA then Oceania then Africa) but it is still some time before we leave...

Start / Finish: Switzerland - SEA (depends from where we can ship our bikes to NZ)

User: XTAdventure (Xenia & Tinu)
Rout: Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Turkmenistan, Usbekistan, Tadjikistan, Kyrigstan, Kasachstan, Russia, Mongolia, China, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia...
2nd part would be NZ and AUS (or vise versa depends on shipping and weather) and then South Africa back to Europe for the 3rd part.
Main Dates: Start in March 2017, end is open
Vehicle: XT 660 R & XT 660 Z
Notes: still working on the exact route...and everything else...

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.
