Hi Anna
I'm coming to Tasmania in December, and was wondering if I could ask you a few questions?
I don't have enough posts to PM you (just joined), so if you could drop me an email to let me know if I can get in touch, it'd be great!
Cheers,
Tanya tanyabug 'at' hotmail 'dot' com

Hi Tanya, I'll be touring Tassie in a few weeks and will hopefully catch up with Annisa in Hobart. You can check my blog here Fab's Motorcycle Trip to Tasmania not much there yet obviously.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
you all seem to have riding knowledge of Tasmania, i hope you dont mind if I pick your brains a bit...
A few of us have planned to go riding in Tasmania for about 10 days from the 18th of December 2010 onwards. We are competent riders, and have done a two month, 18,000kms journey around Australia ( The Hard Way Round). We plan to be riding WR 250's and 450's and be completely self sufficient - we are happy to camp. We have heard many comparisons between the East Coast and the West Coast, and we have been told by many to avoid the West Coast due to the rain and mud.
Could you please give us some more information? If we have 10 days, what would be the best route?
Looking forward to hearing from you - Jonny

Hey,
well, in 10 days you can easily do the whole loop. It's always good once you arrive in Devonport to check out the weather and if it's decent do the West first. It does rain more but it is SO worth it.
I would aim for Stanley, Arthur River, down the Western Explorer to Corinna, Zeehan, Strahan, Queenstown, Dewent Bridge, Hobart, Tas Peninsula and up the East coast from there.
There are HEAPS of dirt options along the way but the tarmac is pretty amazing as well.

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.
