Are you still planning to ride Asia this summer? Have you decided on your KLR transport yet? I am thinking of riding Cincinnati to Vancouver the end of May and shipping from there.

If there are any stragglers, I should arrive in Eastern Russia sometime in June, and will ride west, ultimately to Africa. Keep me in the loop. Thanks

Updating my timeline a little:

- I'm flying my bike out of Vancouver on the 13th, so by the time i get it out of Seoul, and across the Ferry, I should arrive in Russia for the 20th June give or take.

Anyone going to be around then?

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.
