You well come when ever we can arrange some DUSTY WOBBLS action here.

DUSTY BUTT SS 1000 will be official Iron Butt ride.
There are 23 persons in the world who has done it. One event was in Australia and other in South Africa both on flat and strait dessert roads.

We are trying to do that bit harder way on Finnish gravel roads in forest paths. Should be possible according data what I collect during the DUSTY BUTT 1000K this summer. That was our test session for the routes, bikes and riders to check out if it possible to do in Finland and IT IS.

Next Friday we are heading to Kola peninsula for 10 days. Some 2800 km Russian muddy forest trails and Kuzomen sandy dessert.

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.
