Exclamation USA Denver R1200GS for 1150 or 1200GS in South Africa

Come travel through the continental USA on my 05' R1200GS fully loaded with only 18,000 long distance miles on her. (Still under Warranty.)

Collect the bike in Denver Colorado and head in any direction.

Here is some of the fun I had traveling through the beautiful Dakota's to Montana through the Nevada desert down to Key West and much more. http://www.gone4aride.com/slideshow_.htm

Which direction will you go?
Alaska perhaps?

This is where I would like to go with your reliable Dakar 650 1150GS or 1200GS http://www.gone4aride.com/za.htm (This will be a one up ride and not two up.)

Timeframe: 1-2 Month Period (July 06' to February 07')

Cheers,

L

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.
