My bike and I will be at L.A airport on 5th May(this thursday) and go to the alaska,cross the canada,down to Ushuaia,fly to Europe then middle east,china,south asia,new zealand and back to Australia for 2-4 years.

So,I really want to meet you guys as many as possible.

(Just click the small map for route on the left side and click the English title for fictures..sorry for Korean language)

First of all,raise a hand if you live in California as I need help for U.S custom and to buy many gears and tools..

Hope you survive L.A. for camping gear find a R.E.I. store. There is a good one in Seattle Washington. You can pick up tools in a sears store, basic metric wrenches and such. Find a well stocked motorcycle shop for some good tire irons if you don't have any yet. Wal-Mart has all sorts of cheap stuff...which is sometimes what you need. Make it on up to Montana and we can ride some fun jeep trails before they get too dusty. Welcome to the U.S.A.

I liked the pictures on your website. Unfortunately my Korean is not as good as my English so I can't read the stories.
Why don't you write a short summary of your stories in English for us stupid foreigners that don't know how to read Korean :-)
I'm a Dutchman but I write my travelstories in English so all my friends can read them.

When will you be in Europe ?

Have a safe trip en enjoy seeing the world.

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.
