South of France / Pyrenees July 2018

Fellow bikers, I will do a tour at the beginning of July 2018 down from Berlin via the Vosges to the south of France (Ardeche, Cervennes) and on into the Pyrenees. I have about three weeks and the dates are still a bit flexible. I ride an FZS600 and prefer camping, but I don't mind hotels either. Je ne parle pas français but my English is excellent. I lived in New Zealand for a long time. I've been down there this year and can promise you will love the riding, the landscape and the people. Did it by myself, which was ok, but would prefer some company this time. If you prefer more offroad, it might give me an excuse to buy an adventure bike to do that. So if you're interested, drop me line.

Cheers,
Thomas

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.
