Uk - Europe - Norway - or anywhere this week
I need an Adventure. Don't care where . The lure of the open road is calling and Im up for a spontaneous 1- 2 week jaunt.
Adventure's are always more fun with the company of others so who's available?
Im open to any route. Scotland perhaps? a loop in Europe? perhaps even Norway. France spain where ever I don't mind. Budget accommodation en route and the odd night camping. I'm easy going and keen to leave asap. I'll be off within the next few days. Anyone wanna tag along ?

Hi Gnasher,
Have you left yet? I'm new to the forum, and was hoping to get more experience of riding around Europe over the next couple weeks. Waiting for my new 650gs to be delivered, likely next Friday so was planning to leave Saturday morning, on the 17th. Let me know if you're interested in meeting up.

Before taking delivery, book the first service for the day after you expect to collect the bike - on taking delivery ride about 300 miles in any direction, turn around, bring it back to the dealer and get that oil change out of the way.

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.
