You guys might be a little faster but those of us who survived are special.
Plenty of us were killers or drug dealers and no friend of the police, wars and politics brought out the best and worst in us.
We ride motorcycles to keep our sanity.
In a bad situation we move to the front, our pain tolerance is high.
Generally we have had the shit knocked out of us.

We are alive because we are damn good riders.
As travelers we are beyond compare.
Long ago we learned the hard way that on the road there are no special cases.

Hi Bill
Now they say that Iran does,nt have any nuclear capability,what excuse is Bush going to use to steal their oil? perhaps the CIA can get someone to claim that Iran is going to launch a rocket attack on Israel with only a 45 minute warning,(it worked for Tony Blair) WANKER!
Hope we can meet up on the road next year,be interested to meet up with you & your mates.

Paul

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.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
