Thank you Roger.
As far as I know, most of the overlander community is unaffected.
I will post any news that I get. It is not riding season yet, so I don't think there are any travelers here yet. The ferries from Russia arrive at areas unaffected, so I don't anticipate any major disruptions to travel this season except on the northeast Pacific coast. It has only been a couple days, so it is too soon to tell right now.

The dignity and the composure shown by the Japanese people in facing this huge tragedy is really with no limits.
My maximum respect to the entire people of Japan and my condolences to who lost his own beloved ones.

All this destruction, combined with the nuclear meltdown alert, really is a horrific nightmare far beyond anyone´s realm of imagination.
One can only hope and pray, that first of all, they will, in the end, succeed in containing that radiation. My thoughts are with the people of Japan.

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.
