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...

Start: Mid june 2016 from London (well near London!)
Cross Europe: still undecided but if weather not too bad go via Scandinavia, Finland into Murmansk Peninsula (Russia), near the Arctic circle.
Alternative will be via Poland and Baltic states into Russia.
Then my flexible itinerary through Northern Russia:
From Arkhangeslk, we can either ride to Ukhta, Khulimssunt to Yugorsk then pick up main road to Khanty Mansiysk or From Kotlas ride East and south via Kuratovo, Kyygorodok, Kazhym, Seva, Kudymkar to Perm.
From Perm, east and North via Lysva, Kushva, Yugorsk to Khanty Mansiysk. Then via Surgut to Nizhnevartovsk. Then from there take the ferry to Tomsk.
From Tomsk, explore further the Altai and Tuva, then back track and cross Kazakhstan, then explore further Kyrgyzstan.
IF time we will venture into Tajikistan and end in Bishkek where we meet with the Chris and his truck on the 15th of Sept. We fly back from Bishkek, while our bikes make it on the back of the truck.

Starting Late May 2016, leaving London, riding a bike:
Europe -> East Eu -> Turkey -> (July20th) Iran -> Turkmenistan -> Uzbekistan -> Kyrgyzstan -> (Aug 18th) China -> Pakistan -> India -> (Oct 17th) Myanmar -> Thailand -> Laos/Vietnam -> Malaysia -> Indonesia -> Australia
I am an Australian riding a DL650 - I am seeking to join tours through China and Myanmar, and keen to share any part of the trip with fellow travelers going the same way.
Itinerary and dates are not set in stone - ping me if you want to join for any part of the trip!

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.
