Well I don't really recall but......
Knee sliders and leather baby grows. Not my thing as at 40 with a mid-20's bmi I am at the younger and thinner end of UK motorcycling and the things still look stupid. Practically we live in a tiny country with more cars and cameras than most, no-one is going to ride like Rossi on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

I don't mind the odd bling here and there, as long as it's not some hipster stuff.

Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
