Yes I am still interested at least over the mountains to Alberta as I will be attending college in the fall, on the governments dime as partial payback for 27 yrs military service.

Sorry bout that cow. Sure tasted good though!
I hope I can meet up with some of you for a bit of the Trans Canada.
I'm still in Brasil heading south on the Atlantic coast then up Chile through Patagonia. Most of this trip is over with only around 28,000 km to my home in California over the next 3 months. Plan to ride up to Deadhorse around July so gotta do more Canada.
Not sure why some say east to west or west to east. :confused1: Don't most need to return home somehow? For the return do folks ride onto ViaRail RoRo style?

Glad to hear that you are still interested. It makes sense why you are called PPCLI and they can never repay for the years that we give them in the military. Do not know about you but I had a bloody good time though.
Having spoken to some west coasters they think that the Rockies in June might be a bit cold so now thinking East to West. What are your thoughts? I am very keen to do this trip and if you are likewise as keen then perhaps we should look at meeting each other. I could do with a trip out west.
I apologise if I appear overly keen but the older one gets the more you realise there is no time to pussy foot around. OK I am a bit now. Time to finish 'War and Peace'

OK you have got me feeling a tad envious and I really need to get back on the road. I found South America stunning and one day I must get back there.

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.
