Hi Trooper
I don't know if you can buy insurance at the Turkish border. However; I am insured with Carole Nash in UK. They have given me a green card (a proper green card, coloured green, not just a letter saying the policy covers you for all sorts of countries etc) but I had to specifically ask them for it. The green card will cover me for just about every country in SE Europe including Turkey. It didn't cost me any extra either.

you can get your insurance at the border for less than 10 quid. They didnt like my Carol Nash Green Card so I ended up having to pay anyway.
Cheers,
Andy

Metin,
That's very kind of you. We will arrive Istanbul on the evening of 14 August, will try to get to Sultanahmet square and look you up.

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.
