RTW + kid = possible?
Hi guys, Gionata here.
I'd like to ask you if you know about someone that have actually attended to RTW with family.
Wife + kid for example.
If you know anything about it, please let me know.
Thank you very much.

They sell a video in german motorbike shops where a dad rides with his sun through africa. Its very well made...the sun allways explains where they are and what they do from the view of a child. While riding he moastly sits on the tank. Unfortunatly i dont know the name of the DVD...

Years, and years ago I read this book about a Danish couple who took their children with them on an adventure (Denmark - Australia) on bikes. Two bikes, and 4 people worked out just perfect... a bit more work, but it worked.

Kids and Bikes
I met a German couple who owned a Moto Guzzi and had a homemade sidecar outfit. They were in India having got that far with their 7 year old son and were planning to go further.
They even let me and Becky borrow their son for a few day trips we did around Delhi, it helped us to blend in as no bike in India is complete without children on board.
I have vaguely heard of a couple with two kids on their bikes with them, but can't remember what nationality they were.
Good luck.

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.
