Hi wolfgang!
I crossed into iran at bazargan one week ago. No problems, but a lot of army and police on the streets. Several checkpoints but never got checked. Needless to say you should only go by day. But until you get there things will be different, a lot happening there. Just the day I arrived in Dogubayazit now too far away apparently two soldiers were killed. You could hear a lot of helicopters at night also.
I heard it's still possible to go to lake van (info is more than one week old) but I guess it's not very wise to go further south.
Let me know if you need any other info.
Ride safe!
Martin

Hi, Atta,
thank you. The plan is, directly entering Iran without sidesteps.

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.
