Hey Bro,

to the HUBB!!

Fantastic trip you have planned there. Which way will you travel through Africa? West coast I am guessing.

8 months seems pretty tight IMO, I would think you would think a year would be good budgeting for time. Also travelling through central Africa is very slow.

Will you be posting here on the HUBB or do you have a blog/website?

Looking forward to hearing more as the plan develops into reality.

Cheers!

Thank you Mr Charger

And what very warm welcome, yes i plan to do the well worn route through eygpt then sudan to south africa and over to oz then home , and more than likely back again, the 8 month window is only a rough guild so no real time frame.

again thanks for the welcome

Hello
I'm very interested in this trip. I currently have an r1 but thinking of selling to purchase a gs adventure for this purpose. I have some money put aside and have no job so this is the right time for me.
Let me now your plans.

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.
