Great Around The World Motorcycle Adventure Rally - May 2017

Rally continues around the globe, albeit it with a modified plan, which, like the yellow NSU motorcycle in the photo below, went through some tough, and interesting, twists and turns. Posts are here under the Blog Archive:

May 14 Post: Some Reflections of The Soft Butt Africa Adventure Stage

May 17 Post: Insider Secrets for Stage Four - Europe

The second photo below is of a replica of the "first" motorcycle," a 1885 Daimler Reitwagen, seen at the Deutsches Zweirad & NSU Museum in Neckarslum, Germany, shortly after the start of the European leg of the rally.

June 4 Post: Adventure Terror Riding Across Europe

June 22 Post: The Adventure Riding Bunny

The third photo is of a 1980 R80G/S at the Deutsches Zweirad & NSU Museum, a motorcycle some claim gave rise to "dual-cylinder adventure riding," a highly debatable description and worthy of lengthy discussions.

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.
