Coming to Canada?? I can help on info if you like!
Hello all!
Anyone coming to Canada, needing help, let me know. I can help on general route info, especially in the Ontario to East coast side. I can also offer points of interest, help with route info, accomadations info, and try to find cool events in the area during your visit. Im not an expert, but im FREE ! hehehe  
I live on the border of CAN and USA at the Detroit Michigan crossing to Windsor, Ontario. I can assist on some of the info on that crossing as well.
Also, I can offer you info as to where to buy the best fuel for lowest costs in areas that I know. Also, temperatures, and such if you are not used to Canada's weather. Certain times of the year in certain areas can be bad for weather or bugs. Like FishFLys and Black Flies and Mosquitos. And they can be a serious problem. Also camping places, and how to bearproof a campsite, etc if needed in your area. Watch out for them nasty buggers too, the Racoons! They will be your worst nightmare!
Well, be safe, and keep me in mind. I'd love to offer a little insight and advice.
One word of advise, WATCH OUT for Moose, Deer and Racoons on the highways. Moose will total a pick up truck. Think of a horse, then go bigger. And durring Rutting season, they will actually charge a train, and derail it if they feel its impossiong on their space. No Lies. They look gentle, but are powerful beyond belief.

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.
