VIDEO - Motorcycle Adventure – Pyrenees Style

Hopefully the twists, turns and surprises within this video make it stand out from the usual “motorcycle holiday video” !

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I also rode the Smugglers' route last summer going up from Spain to Andorra. It is a fantastic route with lovely views. Here some pics:

Nice video thanks for sharing.

I have yet to get on top of my GoPro, with voice activation I thought simples but experienced a few oddities with it.

One for sure, I went on the AVMM last September around the Pyrenees's for a week and it was fantastic trail riding, heading out there again this year for some more independent adventures.....

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.
