Smile HUBBUK 2016, Baskerville Hall, June 16-19

It's been a long search, but we're very pleased to announce that HUBB UK is back in a great new location - Baskerville Hall Hotel, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountain National Park!


In addition to great facilities, the venue supports rider training, off-road courses and lots of bush for ride-outs, and we have plans to use it! Coach Ramey Stroud will be back! See the video from Lee Walters Off-Road Training for a taster!

Registration will be open soon, meanwhile mark your calendar and stay tuned!

Thanks, camping space would be great. We are only just looking into it but likely will fly the bikes over, probably to Toronto then back out via Argentina. We plan to travel west then down the west coast of USA.

Reconnecting

Hi to you all. The new site for the UK meet is perfect - and, for me, close to home so a difinite Yes to stirring my aged bones, oiling knee joints, praying to a Good God that my back will hold up, having B hang a name plate round my neck so that I can check on whom I am AND searching through notes on my last two Indian odysseys. Though why the notes - as I always lose them (as those will testify who have ever listened to my blather)....?

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.
