Fantastic - and great to hear you're having a good time! So Mexico wasn't a problem like the news would have us think?

Mexico was GREAT! The checkpoints and topes did get on my nerves after a while, but the people were extremely welcoming and good to me.

I am in San Jose, CA right now with faield final drive on my GS. Here' hoping it gets repaired so I can see you guys in Flagstaff next week!

Heading west after the meet-up, to Colorado Springs / Denver for some Rocky Mountain riding.

I mentioned this at the Asheville BMW club meeting last night and there was some interest. I will keep reminding them during the upcoming meetings and put some flyers in the new BMW dealership here.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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

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.
