I know we have been slack at the whole updating the blog thing, so we're a littl behind. Liz had a whoopsie a couple of weeks ago and unfortnately thats kept her of the bike for a few weeks. In the mean time however we are getting some articles up on our website, and here's one about what we were up to in June.
Northern BC, Yukon and Alaska June '14
Happy riding and keep the sunshine on your helmet

Thanks for the advice, i have changed tyres i just hate doing it, especially heideneaus they have super tough side walls, got a new tyre to put on the rear after HU cali this weekend so more practice to be had there.
Yeah I really know nothing about fork seals, the seal is now sorted so we're all good.
Anyhow I'd hate to know everything because life would be pretty boring as never have problems to overcome.

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.
