South America this winter...
Two friendy Canadians riding their R1200GS's through South America beginning in Equador this November 2008 and riding through Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay would like to hear from fellow travellers in the area...exchange emails and possibly cross paths or even do some riding together!

Would love to meet up
We will be heading into Guatemala within the next couple of days and will continue to head south. Hoping the flood waters receed enough for us to get through.
If you are interested, you can follow us on our blog. We enjoy meeting other world travellers.
Cheers
Robert and "S"

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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