Hi,
I am 34 y/o living and working in Amsterdam (though
Antwerp is my hometown) and plan to drive my bike - Honda
500 XL - from Delhi to Amsterdam this summer: from say Jul
10th till end August. Have spent approx 8 months biking in
almost the whole of India between jan-aug 98. Looking for
other experienced biker(s) male or female to share the
experience with. If you have any mechanical knowledge so
much the better: mine is limited. Have lost my NOC and
Exchange Receipt -yep, I bought the Honda in Puna- so the
Indo-Pakistani border formalities might take a few hours.
Budget is not limited although I do not plan to visit a
single '5stardeluxe' place. A good meal, washed down by a
few chilled beers and a hot shower every two or three days
can do miracles to the weary traveler.
In addition, all usefull info welcomed.
Thanks for replying, Johan.

    The border formalities will not happen at all if you do not
    get a carnet for the bike. India Pak and Pak Iran borders
    are not passable without this document. A few chilled beers
    in Pakistan and Iran may be a little difficult.
