An Italian goes out for a 6-month Italian adventure!

Hi Bikers,

I'm posting here because I want to suggest to all of you to follow my forthcoming project which I have been developing for a while. Now it has finally been supported by the biggest Italian motorcycling magazine which is Motociclismo, and it has got the support of HU too.

What will my adventure be?

I will be riding from the 1st of June without an established itinerary not knowing the trip's ending date. I will be on my own along the road directed by bikers' suggestions through Facabook iterations. Those willing to help me are welcome, in terms of riding some miles together with me or hosting me in their home with a shower, a soup and a place where to sleep. I think that’s a great way to get to know other bikers, sharing an experience and proving that “bikers friendship” is still true and well alive!

Why did I choose to explore my own country?

"I was on my way through Turkey when I met an Austrian biker who, after realizing I was Italian, asked for advice about his route back to Austria passing through Italy. Well, I was unable to tell him anything special. How embarrassing? That day I sadly realized that riding beyond my national borders, willing to discover the rest of the world without properly knowing my own country didn’t make any sense at all. So, I threw away my round-the-world-plan in favour of an Italian adventure."

Well, hope all of you will like my project which I will keep you updated on!

If you would like to follow me and discover more about Italy..
..go to RIDESOUL (english version) and like my page on Facebook (Ridesoul English).

Lamps,

Alessandro

Thumbs up Great Idea

Hey Alessandro
I'll definitely be following your progress - are you going to Sicily? I'd love to see and hear about riding there and the best routes.

Good luck

Hey Tiffany..how are you?

I'll be definitely going to Sicily! However, I feel you will have to wait until late november to be able to read my report about Sicily. It will be the last part of my adventure!

By the way, while you are awaiting for it....check this out on google (San Vito lo Capo, Sicily)

Take care,
Alessandro

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.
