Smile 1st HU Switzerland meeting Aug 25-27 2017

We are delighted to announce that world travellers and good friends Heike and Filippo Fania have offered to host the 1st HU Switzerland Travellers Meeting from Aug 25-27, 2017.

They've found a fantastic venue with all the facilities we need in beautiful surroundings in the heart of Switzerland. There are great motorcycling roads nearby and the Alps at your doorstep, with the famous Furka, Grimsel, Susten or Klausen Pass roads only a few kilometres away.

Online registration is open now with early bird rates!

Looking at this as a nice week trip for 2017, any one else here possibly thinking of this or is it a wee bit to early to you for planning.

James, if you're going to do an international bank transfer consider using TransferWise - saves a pretty penny compared with the banks. The link below gives me invite credit and should, I think, give you something - first transfer free or something!

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.
