Swedish team Twinshock Trailfinder 11-12/7
Hi
I AM doing the TsTf this year and I am wondering whether there are anyone else who wish to team up with me. I can sign up for TsTf solo and join another, existing team but since the planning and mapreading preparations needs to be done beforehand the best thing to do is to try to find another swede or scandinavian biker to team up with.
No plans about the stay or how to get there or home, it's all open for discussion.
Regards / Rikard

May be worth contacting the MTRidersclub
They have quite a large group going
I did it in 2012, great fun...

There's at least 4 in Finland/Norway/Denmark that I know of
Also, there's a large group riding down via France
Good luck!

Ha ha - I have 3 of them - they are awesome...
Have a look on eBay and the MTRC website, they normally sell for about £1,800 in good condition
In 2012 we had about 25 of them doing Twinshock - including the winning team
They are not that well known but they tick all the boxes for a bullet proof off-road bike, only down side is max touring speed is about 100 kph

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.
