All Information posted, registration open now!

Doug Wothke, (RTW on a 1948 Indian and 60's Harley chopper), is the local host for this event - we're VERY grateful to him and his lady Poly, for stepping up and making it happen with a lot of legwork and effort, and an amazing new location off the beaten path.

Hope to see you there!
So who's going?

I got to BG yesterday, everything for the HU meeting is planned, we have many people from many countries already registered.

Peter & Kay Forwood, (who have been all over the world (193 countries) on their Harley) are here now, hanging out for a couple days.

Tomorrow I head to Serbia, to a bike party my friends put on in Novi Sad, then going to Ukraine for a visit. I'll be back in BG in 2 weeks.

Doug

Hi Doug, I would like to come...

Hi Doug and all other travellers,

I would like to join your Meeting in Bulgaria, but I have enough to do to organise the HU Germany Meeting and then after your HU Meeting the first HU Meeting in Italy, close to Lake Garda...

Would be nice if you could show up there too, we picked a great spot!

Right now I am in Antofagasta/Chile - riding around for another month...
on my way to Peru!

See you somewhere - Jens

If someone can convince my boss to allow me to take off all of June and all of July then he** to the yeah!

It's a shame... my wife's Bulgarian so we were looking forward to this but simply won't make it. We'll be at Ripley and the fall meeting in Germany though so see you there.

I 'm sleeping in Gabrovo on 9 July with a friend. I've seen the the HU meeting is very near to that place so I could pay you all a quick visit.

Hi, I will be near Mainz/ Worms on the 24/25 and then on to the HU meeting in Bulgaria, same rough route as you, no set route just keep off Autobahn's as much as possible. i would welcome some company for part of the trip, i prefer to camp when i can.

Hi Owle,
sorry I´m so late with the reply!
Seems we have the same ideas about this trip!
I´m 37 and drive an 1200GS (wit TKC80, so a little offroad is very welcome )

Are you living in Germany or just on the drive thru?

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
