We'll start off Feb 26 with Susan and I with two presentations, loads of new content and inspiration!
Around the World - they said we were crazy...
  • Grant and Susan Johnson
    How it all began, the story of Grant and Susan's trip around the world, without a plan or a clue! In 1987, before the Internet, a young Canadian couple headed south from Vancouver to travel around the world on a motorcycle for 3 years. Eleven years and 50 countries later, they finally finished the trip! Could YOU do it too? Sure you can - if we can, you can - find out how!
Motorcycle Adventure Travel - You can do it, we can help!
  • Grant and Susan Johnson
    What do you need to know to do "The Big Trip"? Does it take two years of preparation and a new bike completely decked out in Touratech equipment, or can you get away with less? Don't have years and megabucks to prepare, or spend, on a trip but you're desperate to do something!? Includes top tips for overland travelling, excerpts from the world-famous Achievable Dream DVD series and much more...
We have Kevan Ibbotson, funny as always lined up for March, with a tale of adventure going crazy in Alaska, and "Bodging it" and more to come as we get everyone confirmed.

In April we have Gordon Jackson, currently in South America, with his story "Biking South Americas Wild Side" and who knows who else!

It's going to be a lot of fun, we're really looking forward to it and hope to see you all there!

Holeshot would love to have an idea if you're going to be there, so please see their Facebook event page, and RSVP. No worries if you can't, we'll find room! I hope...

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.
