Europe anyone..??

Late April.. riding down to Greece (Kalamata) from the UK then up through Moldova and the Balkans, northern Europe, back to the UK.. route planned but not set.. Estimated 6-10 week trip. Any takers..? I've had several solo's and thought it'd be nice to hook up with some company.

Hey guys, I should be heading south of London mid april. This is my first big trip and my first time abroad. I dont really have a route planned going to play it by ear. I got to be back in london around june 20th, so I can catch a flight to South africa. Im soloing it but it would be great to meet up with some other riders for a few parts of my trip. Hope to hear from you and see you on the road!

Email to Jon is bouncing back to me as horizonsunlimited.com is not listed in his address book. aarghh.

If Jon doesn't sort this - you listening Jon? I will delete this thread and ban GSJon.

Everyone PLEASE make sure HU is in your white list or address book or whatever in order to make sure that mail gets through to you. Bounces are a pain in the rump.

Thanks for helping, Grant

Hi folks. I'm looking to do a similar trip, but longer, starting in August. I'll be 18 and looking to leave the UK for a year. I'd like to go over Scandinavia, down Finland, hop over to Estonia, Latvia etc, down the russian border on this side until I get to Greece (going slowly, so it'll be winter by then.) I'd like to do it as much for the travelling bit as the biking bit, so if you're up to joining me for a bit, please let me know! Cheers, Dan

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.
