On line purchase is not available for quite some time.

For the last 2 years is really a nightmare to get one at the border. Even russian motorcycle tour operators are without solution for clients coming on their tours with their own bikes.

We're working on the product for Russia and if everything will be ok it will be out in April this year.

My last experience dates from 2016. It was very easy and fast at the Vladikavkaz border.
Insurance was still valid when crossing with Latvia, Estonia and Finland so didn't need to buy there but I did see insurance brokers at all of those borders as well.

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.
