Ah I see, said the blind man.
We're thinking of doing a blog. Going to see what info we can pick up on that side of things at the HUBB UK in June.

...to the deaf man.

We're doing a self hosted Wordpress blog. Wordpress offers a free version and you can even get your own domain for a small cost. It's pretty easy to set up and use.

But there are lots of other free options out there. Some folks don't even bother with a blog and only write a Ride report. I think there is also a blog option right here on the HUBB. You'll definitely get some good ideas at the HUBB meeting regardless.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
