Hey guys! Best intentions meant by saying this, but if possible please take further posts unrelated to the original topic into a PM. Just trying to keep the thread relevant to "Travellers Seeking Travellers".
Cheers very much
Happy riding.

Hi Guys,
I plan a similar Trip in Spring 2014 from Switzerland - Japan, not sure yet if I should head trough Iran or Russia...
I was thinking on leaving here in April.
But unfortunately I have only a limited Time-Frame, 5 Month from either April or Mai...
How are your plans so far?
Let me know if you reach Switzerland in April or Mai, maybe we could do a part of the trip together.

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.
