Thank You
Having just completed a solo crossing of Africa from the UK to South Africa,
I would just like to thank everyone on this website who helped me before and during the trip.
Grant and Sue, for hosting this site.
Fred XTZ, Lewis (POB London) and others for their help when I was preparing my bike.
AB in Cairo for his hospitality in Cairo and anyone else who either showed me hospitality or took the time out to answer any of my postings along the way.
Keep the wheels right side up.
Geoff van de Merwe

Hi Geoff
Congratulations on completing your trip.
Which route through Europe and Africa did you take, and where to next?
Regards, Mick

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.
