hot and sunny, dude. hot and sunny except at night when its cold and dark, but still really nice.
I have no access to a one-month forecast and wouldn't particularly trust one, but I'd hazard a guess that the "hot" might have been dropped from the above. I gather it snows here, but don't plan to hang around and find out!

Oh it snows there. Not much actual snow, but it gets bitter cold and windy. I'd say get somewhere that you can head south for a while. Pronto.

Ride on!

Current situation in Pakistan?

Hi, anyone crossed into Pakistan lately..? We are planning to do that in a week or so. Now in Iran. Planning to go Mirjaveh-Quetta-Multan-Lahore then into India, maybe not staying longer than we have to. Surely will steer clear of any group gatherings, etc.
But any recent experiences about the country would be warmly welcomed!

hekoheko, we are in Esfahan heading to Yazd tomorrow. I should do some small maintenance to the bike, that might take us about half day, so we thought wed stay in Yazd a couple nights. But sat/sun in Mirjaveh.. think its about 1400km from here, so well have to see how it goes.

Actually I hear a lot of people here saying that Bam-Zahedan-Mirjaveh is not safe, either. Note that we are very low on ground clearance (2-up and you wont believe the load we have on the bike!), so if that road from Dalbandin to Quetta really is as bad as some say, I'll be forced to go veeeeery slowly not to break something.

I will keep you updated how we progress. Would be nice to meet, and also definitely a good idea to get company going into that area now. Pekka

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.
