Two up on a KLR
I took a bunch of ess for even conceiving the idea of my wife and I on a klr 650 but we did it...or compromised and met half way...she flying into Guat. city and picking her up there, the both of us meandered down to San Jose Costa Rica. Would we do it again, you ask? No. That being said, it was my third trip down thru Mexico, Mazatlan is way cool, and my wife never does any one trip twice. She has a been there, done that attitude. Besides, I found a gringo in Granada, Nic. that wanted the bike and the thought of getting on a plane and flying home over riding the KLR north? Well, you be the judge of that. So I weenied out and took the plane. Good decision. Cut the trip down to 35 days instead of 2 months. Okay with me. Besides, I have a new V-strom in the garage, which is way smoother and the next trip will be north to Alaska. The trip was epic, as all moto trips are. OOOH....but the borders.....all who done that can testify....It can be trying. Look forward to going north. David

The wife and I did a trip on my KLR650, from Mpumalanga RSA to Leshoto and back, and it was great. Funie thing is I've also in the mean time swopped the KLR for a V-Strom 1000, but I still miss the KLR some days.

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.
