Hi Franck !
It's nice to have news from you on HU !
I'm really sorry I couldn't join you in KL after we met in Tanah rata (cameron highland). My phone was broken at this time and I didn't have your email adress.
After we met I faced many problems... health not good, first stomac infection, so I stayed one week more at our place with my friend in tanah rata, and then when I reached KL just before flying to Australia, it was leg infection... I decided to go Australia as I planned, but I was rejected after 24h in migrant detention center because my tourist visa was cancelled by immigration when I landed. They thought I was there to work illegaly... they deported me back to Malaysia where I couldn't get more than 1 week visa, so no other choice than leave my bike at my friend's place and fly back to France
I'm in France for almost 2 months now, I take rest and take care of my health waiting to sell my car and fly back to KL, pick up my bike and go ahead in my journey ! I can see Dylan's pictures of Australia and it looks beautiful... feel jalous !
Because I'm banned from Australia for the next 3 years, I have to plan an other route. So why not cross China and reach Mongolia, It's a serious option. the other option is to ship the bike to america but I'm afraid about the cost... I have to compare with the cost in China. Can you give me an idea about it !?
Where are you now ? everything okey lah !?
I wish you good luck, happy new year and I hope to see you again.
Cheers,
Matthieu on GS 1150

I am looking into the Nepal - Laos route. How much did that cost you (what guide and was it excluded stay and mails?).

hi matthieu
**** of australia. its expensive and all the snakes and spiders and crocodiles...;-)
i am ok lah. i am still in thailand. got visit from two girlfriends and my son.
joining my trip to mongolia is a good idea. if its only two of us the costs are about 2000 euro per person, for you maybe a little less. bur i hope to find more travellers.
ok, relax and become healthy again.
good luck and i hope to hesr from yo-u again...

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.
