The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

These forums changed my life, Thanks!

17 years ago an 18 year old me came across these forums and you all helped me figure out how to fly my 650 vstar to europe, get insurance and gave me some great travel tips. Just so happens I met my wife on that trip and I have been living in the wake of that adventure ever since. Now 35, my wife and I are planning our next big trip, South America 2023. Looking forward to utilizing this incredible community once again for another unforgettable adventure.
Thanks again for being such an incredible resource, and helping set me on the path of a life of adventure, 20 countries ridden so far, cant wait to rack up a few more!

Well done Son, why has nobody responded to this..?? My only regret is/was not discovering travel at an earlier age but I do have rewarding elements to compensate. Keep on your path......

"Wow that sounds great.I agree finding travel at a young age just gives another meaning to your life.Broadens your horizon. I actually visited South America last year with my family.We actually got a travel advisor to customise our trip around hiking and nature.We had clearly mentioned them our budget and they totally worked around it.I had been recommended Voyagers Travel Company by an office colleague- I think their website is: www.voyagers.travel .But will confirm the website from my husband once as its been a year.I might not clearly remember.But as far as my memory goes this should be it.

Have a great trip."

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
