Hello
great thread
I am planning riding my v strom 650 back to nz in 2015 , beginning late April early May.
Route is probably through Iran, Pakistan, india, nepal then airfreight to thailand. But open to suggestions.
Would be happy to join with riders. I am a 64 year old kiwi and have done solo in Morocco, turkey, europe for consecutive three month tours. Heading for central America next month for three month "small" bike tour.
Happy to meet up when I return to or in my travels in Europe next year.
regards
Peter

eastbound from belgium
Current plan is to make a 3 month trip going from belgium to mongolia and back.
Timing: departure june/july 2015. Upon arrival in mongolia I would park the bike, go to china by train. Returning to mongolia after one month (china visum expires), then return through Siberia to Belgium.
Bikes: Suzuki DR 350, in the process of refurbishing...
purpose: travel offroad where feasible. ie limit asfalt to the bare minimum.
route: through ukraine, russia, kazakhstan and russia to mongolia.
who?
maybe my son will come along (24 yr, on a dr350) and myself (54 yr, dr350)
Both having moderate off-road experience.

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.
