Eastern Romania mid April

I'm riding around Eastern Romania between 9th and 16 April, likely in the triangle Bucharest/ Brasov/ Danube Delta.

Anyone around for a ? Look out for a matt-black rat of a Honda Transalp with a British numberplate and more rust than paint

Hi Heidi
Shame we missed each other. I'm back in England now. I don't recall seeing your bike, but it was raining so much, I was concentrating on not falling off most of the time.

In Bulgaria, check out Welcome to motosapiens.org | motosapiens.org A really superb place.

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.
