Hi everyone,
I have already completed 5000 miles from deadhorse AK, round and about Alaksa and Canada, and will be crossing from Victoria on Vancouver island on the 1st July to ride south through the USA. If there is anybody who fancys joining me for part of this section then please e-mail me at: phatmendus@hotmail.com
Im on a KLR 650. My schedule is always flexible so anyone who wants to head south it would be god to ride with you.
cheers,
Simon

Do stop in Helena
If you are headed for Yellowstone stop by we have the Tee Pee set up in the back yard and I started a motorcycle repair shop in my horse barn (garden shed).

meeting
Copper Canyon, next week! Thats either a very witty joke, or you can cover serious miles which Im afraid I shall not be covering in a week, or there is another Copper Canyon apart from the one in Southern Mexico. If its the first one cheers.
To Bill I think I may be passing by your way so I would love a cup of tea. Ill be in touch in a couple of weeks I would have thought.
Finally, IrishKev. Sounds like a plan. Ill keep an eye out for where you are. I will be crossing into mexico on the 1st of Sept of thereabouts. As i have a month in San Diego to do some stuff.
cheers Simon

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.
