Hi all,

Riding experience: on - offroad good.
Coz of different reasons my routing for the first part ( approx 1 year )is not clear yet (First Idea was Africa).
To create good Ideas / routings i´m looking for travel mate
depends how it works, for parts of the trip or even for longer.
My timeframe is unlimited
Budget oriented ( Camping preffered but also hotels or whatever)

Hi Eddy,
I saw your post and wanted to let you know I am interested in doing at least some parts of your trip with you however life is in a state of flux at the moment so unfortunately I cannot make a hard commitment for October as of yet.

I am relocating to somewhere (depends on wife's job hunt) this summer (likely east coast US or to the EU) so that needs my full attention now.

A trip from Europe to India was going to be my next adventure but would consider Africa if you are going that way in the winter.

About me: 55 this summer, easy going and have done moto camping trips all over the western US, Mexico and last summer I did 2 months around India. I'm OK on and off road and usually ride my DRZ400s. I enjoy taking it slow and absorbing he landscapes and cultures of an area and not afraid to wander off on the unbeaten path.
Languages: English, intermediate Italian, some German (lived in Vienna years ago) and some Spanish.

Anyway, please keep me abreast of your plans and I will do the same as time passes and more falls into place.
Best,
James

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.
