Yeah so we went away for the weekend all went well. On our return the Defender was parked up outside my friends house. And got stolen. This put the Morocco trip in some turmoil. With only 8 days to go. So Rich went out and bought himself a new TD5, very painful purchase! He took delivery of it today, currently driving round the country looking for a NATO to hitch and then we should be on our way down to sunny Spain! Watch this space!

Sorry for your loss... I hate these barstewards who can't go out and do an honest days work... have to pilfer someone elses pride and joy instead.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
