Loving Mexico

We have been traveling in Mexico for a few weeks now and we are loving it. The riding in Jalpan de Serra is amazing. We are in Oaxaca for Dia Del Muertes. Then we are off to San Cristobal then the Yucatan, We will be coming back north to Vera Cruz for The coast to coast BMW ride to Acapulco at the end of November. Then we will come up to see the Monarchs in mid December. Sara

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.
