Anyone interested in meeting/exploring Spain/Portugal mid June 2011

I'm travelling through France over the Pyrenees into Spain to meet my wife on 11th June in Marbella for a week. I then plan to tour Spain and Portugal for 9 days. May even pop over to Morocco for a couple of days then back criss crossing Spain and Portugal to get a return ferry from Santander to Portsmouth around the 28th June. Anyone interested meeting me in Southern Spain around the 17th June to do some exploring for 9-10 days? I completed a similar trip last year and discovered how beautiful Portugal was. I have already booked my return ferry so let me know asap.

I'm flying over from the U.S. and rentuing a KTM superduke in Florence. I'll be touring through Spain and France from June 16-29th. I should be in Barcelona 21-23rd. Let me know if you want to hook up for a ride.

I traveled in Tuscany last Summer to world Ducati week. I've been riding about 10 years. I ride on the racetrack a good bit in the Summer time. I was thinking of riding a day or two. I have to be back in Florence on the 29th of June to return the bike. I ride sportbikes mainly and have 2 ducatis and a KTM Superduke back home.
Let me know how we should contact each other around the 20th. Looking forward to it.

Hi Racer, I am finalising my plans and it works out I will be in the Sierra Morena mountains in Southern Spain on the 19th June then ride back over the Guardalupe in to Northern Portugal which is stunning in between 20th-23rd. Would hope to hit the East side of the Pyrenees in Northern Spain on the 24th. Would any if these locations or dates still suit your plans?

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.
