Hi Jasong,

I'm in Rishikesh, India.

I'm also planning to fly from Kathmandu to Thailand, some time in September or October 03.

There is a saving to made if you ship two or more bike togther, the Kg price below 500Kg is @ $1.37 Us & above is $1.07 US, also you only need one Air bill, which saves @ $100 US.

Also I think it would be easer with two people to get your bikes out of customs & the airport!!

I'm in no rush but you may be!

I've been in India 12 mounths now & have spent 8 mounths in Nepal, but I'm still looking forward to be back in Nepal!

Ride Free, Ride Safe, Ride one more mile,


Rik & Changeling

But it would be nice to meet up some were.

Hi All,

I will also be heading the same route, leaving Scotland the first week in Sept, but heading quite quickly towards Turkey. Probably get there about the 15th. E-mail me if you would like to meet up.

Kenny

Hi marcel,

When do you plan to be in India?

I'm back in Delhi, I have a little work to make on Changeling (my R80Tic BMW) than I plan to make my way to Nepal to fly out to Thailand!!

What are your plans?

I would like to fly my self & my bike with some eles, as there are some savings to be made & it would be nice to travel with some one for a change.


Ride free, Ride safe, Ride one more mile,

Hi Rik

Our plans are constantly changing but at a rough estimate we were planning to spend the month of November in India (we hadn't really planned for Nepal (bit cold?) and not enough money) but were planning on a couple of weeks in Thailand and then maybe one in Malaysia (flying out of KL). It's bound to change though so we'll keep in contact. We are keen to ship with someone else too!

Keep in touch

Marcel
