Trip Planning
What do I need to know? Lots! But not nearly as much as you might think. Many people are put off because they think there is so much you need to know, so much planning and preparation, that they get bogged down in the morass of information they THINK they need, and never do it, because it all just seems too hard.
The truth is it's actually pretty easy - anyone reading this, with a valid motorcycle license, and ANY motorcycle, can get on it and ride around the world. It's BEEN DONE!
Some planning will make the trip easier, safer and more fun, so dive in!

Why Come to a Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Meeting?
You can meet people who don't think you're crazy for wanting to ride your bike to South America or Africa or across Asia, or even around the world!
Admit it, all your 'normal' friends and most of your family fears for your sanity! So, this is your opportunity to meet the people who will encourage you in that craziness, share their experiences and advice on how to do it, and maybe you'll meet them again in Mongolia or Timbuktu!
