It is YOUR thread sharon, so you can make it what you want !

Start by stating what you ride, where you ride & where you would like to fly & ride.
For example, I'm in Sydney Australia, have multiple bikes & mix it up between dirt & tar for both short & long trips. I travel mostly with my wife on her own bike & we love to camp.
We would like to visit & ride New Zealand, Canada & Alaska.

That way, people can make you a genuine offer & things can happen

Black Hills of South Dakota

Hey, Sharon, (nice to see you here, friend!)

I plan to be home in May or June so if you fancy a trip to the Black Hills I might be able to track down a bike for a weekend or few days of riding some of the twisties in my gorgeous home state.

xo,
Michelle Lamphere

Northern New Mexico/4 Corners area

Sharon,
I live in Taos, NM and there is a guy near here with bikes for rent (f800GS and others). If you want to come out to ride this area let me know. Visit his site at Adventure Bike NM, motorcycle rentals Santa Fe & Ojo Caliente. I'll pick you up at the Airport in Albuquerque, etc.

Hi Sharon,

Perhaps you have a trip organised, but if not would you be interested in flying to Dublin and heading to Spain/France for two weeks beginning June 6?

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
