Canada West August 2014
Hi All
I am considering heading up to Canada (maybe pushing it to touch Alaska this trip) leaving Ft Lauderdale first week August. Have been off my Tiger since 27 Dec 2013 after breaking my leg , so keen as mustard to ride again.
Looking for a/any thread with latest updates and tips/suggestions around the west Canada region. The HU Canwest is certainly a possibility as well. Also, a recommended route from FLL to Canada for a quick safe ride (upstate New York Canadian border to FLL in 2 days in Sept 2013 so don't mind long stretches once in a while).
Any comments appreciated.
Safe and happy riding.

Hello Steve,
Make sure you attend the HU meeting in Nakusp. Lovely country and some fine roads. Lots of other riders will be there to point you in many different directions. Cannot recommend the HU meet enough, great fun. I'll be there, hopefully bump into you! Have a fabulous trip.
Regards, Mike.

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.
