My current favourite is Robert Fulton's "One Man Caravan" - RTW by moto in the early 30's.
Great story, funny motivation, beautiful writing and humour as dry as a slice of Kingsmill toast. Photos and hand-drawn maps as well...

'Running With The Moon' By Johny Bealby is a great book, well worth reading.

yes, Running with the Moon is the best travel story I read. Ted Simons book Jupiters Travels is a fantastic book about his rtw journey in the 70s.

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.
