Are you representing an advertising agency? Honda headquarters? Honda in a specific country?
Are you paying for people to feature in your ad?
A little more information about who you are and what you are doing would be appreciated as this is your first and only post on the HUBB.

Simon Gandolfo--has gone everywhere on CG125 bikes, written books, and is still out and about. You could try to PM through here. Someone I have met through advrider and is the manager of a California motorscooter manufacturer had him on a group ride to Cabo San Lucas when they were endurance testing a batch of their scooters. He has mentioned they are friends...

Many thanks for these leads, I'm in contact with most already, so on the right tracks. No need for more now. It's for a Honda online promo clip. Not ready yet. Cheers

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.
