I absolutely cannot avoid to say a huge "thank you" to Saleh and the Dubai Riders for his/their hospitality during my motorcycle trip of United Arab Emirates and Oman that lasted from Dec. 19 to Dec. 27.

Saleh made me feel a welcomed guest and provided me with all one can need (and even more) for an unforgettable stay in his Country and Oman, letting me have an incredible help for some necessities I had during these 2200 km I rode in the two Countries.
For sure I will display with honour the stickers of Dubai Riders on my Super Ténéré and on my car.

Saleh, you have been a great friend and above all a great motorcycle fellow, I will never forget the rides and the time we spent together with your friends from Dubai Riders in town, you guys surely know what the brotherhood between motorcycle enthusiasts means.

I can say that it's because of your hospitality and wonderful treatment that now I can call Dubai "home".

Thanks, mate, I hope to meet you again in Italy, my Country, to pay you back what you have done for me, even if it will be very hard to be at the same, incredible level.

Cheers,
Nick

What kind of tires you want and what sizes? Maybe there is a plan in Muscat, I've seen a whole stack of MX tires in "my" mecanics workshop. The boys around Muscat MX track are bringing stuff in from Dubai.

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.
