My new travel partner, aka The Gypsy Queen, has a near mint 73 VW camperized van, and a 98 Ford 21' motorhome with duallys and a BIG V10. We really need to cut down to just one vehicle to take South next Fall. VW van owners are a funny bunch ... more like a cult than mere fans. Her VW van has a NAME, and is part of her family, so that one will be hard to talk her out of. In the 60s to the 80s, I spent about 20 years wandering around in VW vans, and much as I remember them fondly, I am getting too old for those slow, cramped "adventures".
We will see if sentiment wins out over practicallity, or more likely, it will be decuded by which rig sells first.

After another Summer on Vancouver Island, I ended up in Ajijic Mexico for this Winter. AGAIN! I guess this officially makes me a SNOBIRD. It has been nearly three years with my little AWD SAFARI VAN CONVERSION motorhome. It has been a great rig, but realistically these days I do not wander much except between Van Isle and Ajijic. The rig has been parked in Ajijic since last October, and I get around on my bicycle or the excellent inexpensive Mexican buses.
I am seriously thinking if leavig the Safari AWD motorhome in Ajijic full time. I have a ten year TIP for the unit, and secure storage is inexpensive. But this srems like a waste of a great little overlanding rig.
Unless sone one wants to buy the Safari for a reasonable price, its rambling days may be over and it might become my full time immovable casita.
If interested send me an Email and I can send pics and details.
Can deliver any where from Mexico to Canada.

Photobucket no longer allows third party sharing so your photos cannot be accessed

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.
