Looking to sponsor a rider on an interesting adventure

Hi all, I'm (relatively) new around here. I've recently signed up but I've been lurking for years (20+ years!).

I work for a motorcycle business that specialises in tyres and other accessories. It's called https://twotyres.co.uk

We have a few products (not just tyres) that we'd like to get onto a bike that's off on an interesting trip. What's in it for us is we get to 'field test' these products over long distances and in far-off locations, obviously showcasing that our stuff is good. Plus we will have a story to tell our customers by sharing your story in our newsletter and social feeds. We have very good relations with the tyre companies and they are always keen to help us support riders doing something noteworthy.

We want to support the rider with various products and budget to help them tackle their trip.

We're ideally looking for someone who's doing something different / interesting. Ideally heading out of Europe. There are so many trips being discussed / plans being hatched here but I don't want to wade into other people's threads as that feels a bit pushy.

If you know someone who you think might be up for working with us, I'd appreciate a steer. I welcome any private messages from anyone planning their next adventure.

Thank you.

Now there's an opportunity for someone! Thanks for the offer zygomatic.
What style of tyre are they - adventure, big bike, any bike, road only?

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.
