Overland Expo 2017 EAST –*Asheville, NC –*Sept 29 - Oct 1
Hello fellow travelers!
In case you haven't heard, Overland Expo has re-vamped the motorcycle area into a motorcycle playground for overlanders. We've taken our training in-house to create specialized classes for the ultimate expedition training program, and added exciting evening options for motorcyclists. Whether you're training for an international adventure or staying local and just want to come out and play in the dirt, we have something for everyone.
WHAT'S NEW?- Centralized Moto-Village – the adventure motorcycle scene will be right in the middle of all the action at this year’s Overland Expo East! Check out all the latest in riding gear, apparel, luggage options, accessories, and technology. From companies like Ural Motorcycles, Mosko Moto, Green Chile Adventure Gear, Outback Motortek, and MORE.
- Ride the “Africa Road” Challenge Course - Our team of experts has created a curriculum based on real-world obstacles. In-house training teaches classes Friday and Saturday. Then put what you’ve learned to the test at the Skills Challenge on Sunday!
- Motorcycle Expedition Skills Area – classes on anything from proper packing to border crossings. Whether you’re planning a "round-the-world" moto trip, or just simply attending to learn something new, we have great instructors to share their experiences and wisdom.
We also wanted to let you know about a NEW offer for a $45 add-on ticket to get super opportunities for adventure motorcycle fun, hosted by ADVMoto Magazine: - An exclusive Saturday night dinner with kegs from a local brewery
- A fun-filled prize drawing party on Saturday night with over $7000 worth of adventure riding gear and training!
- Guided tours by Pisgah Moto Adventures. Space is limited so please sign up at the ADVMoto tent just after arriving!
- Motorcycle-only camping area in soft grass for easy tent-camping (trucks and moto trailers okay, too)
- A custom Nalgene event water bottle & an Overland Expo gift bag
All tickets must be purchased in advance (no at-gate sales)

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.
