I have my own building company here in France. I started about 16 years ago and it used to be interesting but nowadays is just a means of paying the bills. I find it quite stressfull at times.

I ran a website based biz selling action figures and dolls, non mainstream stuff, ebay as the advertising and referrals from a few of the designers as well. Had to give it up as it was just too much with a full time job and didnt fancy the gamble of relying on that alone. It was cheaper to buy at american retail import and pay tax than it was to buy from suppliers in the UK[or to sell uk versions back to the US] for alot of the stuff and I had a good network of folks picking up the rarer stuff for resale over here. Even now I am still selling off the leftover stock on ebay and like the website most of it goes over to europe. Germany, spain and italy were the main places must be a shortage of forbidden planet style shops there.

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.
