HARLEY YOUTH

Hello out there! I'm a new, rather young (24) Harley addictee based in Lancashire, trying to hook up with similar age Harley riders (I know youre out there somewhere!). I'm on an anniversary Sportster, looking to do some serious touring this spring/summer, with a big trip to European Bike Week in Fakkersee planned for end summer 05. So, anyone up for making some noise, drooling over bikes and having some adventures on a V-twin....?

sup harley boy. I'm planning a rather ambitious trip down to Iran, beginning on May 1st this year. I hope you won't be too disappointed to learn that I only have a honda (CB400), but that doesn't make me a bad person. I'm 20, on a gap year before university, fairly mature, good company.

Harley Youth ?? ... Ok ride a Sportster but 37 going on 14 do's that count lol.
Checked into air freight was 2600.00 round trip from US to UK saving pennys and anything else I can get my hands on for trip but will still be a couple years off, maybe you can fill me in on what the riding seen is like over there for us HD riders.
Live in Ohio, if you ever make it to this part of the world drop me a line, always up for ride and happy to help out how ever I can. Plan to ride around the Great Lakes this summer and hoping to make the HU travellers meeting in North Carolina in June so not sure if I'll have the time off to make Sturgis, but who knows...

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.
