Grant/Susan,
Jan & I will be in SA at that time heading to South America, so if wanted could show a film or give a presentation if you are short on presenters, if not we will try and make it anyway.

Cheers
Paul

Good to see people signing up, they're coming in steadily, and it's all starting to come together nicely. I'm sure it's going to be amazing!

Of course we're always looking for more presenters too. If you have skills in any bike technical area (tech seminars are always in high demand), or if want to talk about your trip, (whether it's somewhere in SA or around the world, if it was an adventure for you, it will be for others too) please sign up to present!

It's getting close! Anyone in Mozambique and heading that way???? I might score a helio liftie, or else it'll be bus/train and then buy a bike there. :-)

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.

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.
