Alaskan-USA looking for a swap in Australia

Motorcycle swap sought America to Australia.
I am from Petersburg Alaska when not traveling (which is 3/4 of the year) I am looking for a bike exchange for Jan. and feb. in Australia. I have currently an 2010 800 GS set up for travel which I just did a run to South America on. I am 62 and have a lot of motorcycle travel under my belt. If you have a travel bike and are interested in touring the states next summer and a trade let me know and we can talk. The bike can be picked up in Moab, Utah or Petersburg, Alaska and dropped off at either place. bill_boyles,at, yahoo,dot,com

Suzuki DR650 - Equipped - Cairns, Queensland

G'day Bill,
I am based in Cairns, Far North Queensland. I try to undertake a shorter duration trip each year and I've been considering a motorcycle journey starting in Alaska and heading down to the Pacific Northwest in 2014. Have at least 2 months leave with some flexibility between late June - August. That time of year is also ideal for travelling through Central and Northern Australia if your planning a visit? I'm also considering some other overseas destinations however thought I would touch base to assess your thoughts after reading your post. My last ride was through Southern Argentina and Chile earlier this year on a Honda 250 which I bought new and sold again in Chile. Have not tried the 'bike swap' concept yet however am quiet open to the idea.
Have a great day - Rod

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.
