Hi Ken,

I have a couple of bikes, so no problem on that side regarding timing but I have a planned Holiday where I plan to be away from the 13th of July to the 25th of August, this could be a limitation but it seams that I may get my vacation canceled.
Do you have a number I can call or a skype account? Google Hangover would do it as well.

Best regards,
Joe

If not, I could offer Africa Twin or CX500, in Germany, close to Frankfurt. My dad was a cop, he can find EVERYTHING you need to know ; )
Let me know.

Hi Ken
I posted before you on the bike swap page re looking to swap my F650 (800 cc twin) in NZ for a bike in Australia just for ten days in late June. No-one has replied so I thought I'd ask if you are interested in renting for that period? Hiring an F700 costs around $136 per day including insurance. My brother and I (two mature and responsible guys) are looking for two bikes suitable for touring. Thanks for your reply. Rick

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.
