Sorry for the delay in updating, work has been mental.
If people want to add a link to a blog and / or a photo of them or their vehicle post them below.
Shiv:
This thread is mainly for people heading east, I don't have enough time to look after tow threads so maybe you could start one yourself.

China part:riding and driving
A great list~Sorry to break the queue.
refers to China, you need a professional local tour operator to help. Actually some users contacted with China NAVO Tour already, Welcome to China guys~
but would also provide several notes here:
1. normally China operator needs at least 1-2 months for national permits applying.
2. if motorbike and cars would make into one group, please note the road conditions as motorbike cannot ride on the highway in the most area in China.
3. for age: in principle the rider cannot beyond 60 years old and driver cannot beyond 70 years. But some borders seems not so strictly and good luck~
For more specific info about China riding and driving, plz feel free to contact at abby.zhang@navo-tour.com.
Cheers~

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.
