Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan
Dear riders,
has anybody of you been recently in Turmenistan and Uzbekistan (and perhaps also in Georgia and Armenia)?
Are those regions affected by criminality, danger and annoyance? Do you think are safe places to ride for a couple (my wife and me) on a striking red BMW 1100 GS?
We have good experience of long distance motorbiking travels (North Africa, Middle East, Iran, West and East Europe), but I feel Central Asia as a dangerous place.
Many thanks for any info
Pietro

I'm surprised to hear that Georgia and Armenia are considered safe. Would quite happily go to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan but Georgia in particular, still carries quite a reputation for lawlessness, kidnappings, etc. Haven't been there so don't know, just surpised to think it would be classed as safe.

Vincents informations pratiques pour les autres voyageurs has great info in french..my wife translates well fortunately. I am sure he is referring to those places he travelled through. You can copy it onto a translation site to get a good idea of what his advice is if you are like me and mono-lingual!

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.
