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?

Hi, i'm passing through from the UK.

I will be setting off tomorrow morning, meeting some people near Mainz on the 24th, staying a few days then heading off.
Don't know when i will have internet access again, so if are paths don't cross i will catch you at the meeting, i will be on an Africa Twin.

Come on down, the weather's lovely!

Doug and Polly have got a great set up here and we'd recommend anyone to drop by. Next weekend should be fun and frolics. We're here just for a day on the way to Romania then back for the HU meet. See you there?

Looking forward to meeting you Matt and Kim - we're 6 weeks into a RTW too.

Anita and Matt - aka the Barkingbikers

Apology for Absence!
Sorry guys and girls, doesn't look like we're going to make it after all, a few weeks ago we finally had enough of the constant rain that was premanently over central and eastern europe so we bolted for the sun in Greece with the idea that we would return for the meet. Unfortunately we adapted to the island life a little too quicly!


Hope you have a great weekend!

Ride safe,

Matt & Kim

Thanks everyone who came to visit us in Bulgaria this weekend. I had a great time, & I hope everyone else did also.

Bulgarian Air's only plane broke, so we had to send Grant & Susan back to London by Izh.
They should be back any month now.......

Doug, is that the black Shovelhead you were talking to me about?


Some friends of mine ride Shovels, but they don't look like that so much...
Maybe does it deal with a particular and limited edition?
A wild apehanger would fit perfectly, dude!!

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.
