The Landcruiser is back in Congo! I tried to salvage it after our return, structurally it was still very good, but there was too much damage that had to be repaired to be able to pass technical inspection here. Not worth it to fix all that in the end. Sold it, and it got shipped back to Congo. Probably still running around there somewhere.

We.. We are currently roaming around the Sahara a bit... still with a Landcruiser :-)

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.
