Is this the BEST website - or what?
Hi folks
Isn't this site just fantastic? Getting great advice from riders who've travelled a few miles to a few places is really helpful.
It's great fun to post messages too, and pass on your own advice to people who are new to this kind of venture.
I've had to delay my departure for my BIG TRIP, but log-on to this bulletin board nearly every day - and it keeps my dream alive.
What do you think? Are there any better sites than this? I don't think so...

Shucks, you'll swell our heads and our helmets won't fit... 
What really makes the board great is the people on it!
We've recently been looking at bulletin board software on other sites, and have to say that what impressed us the most was the difference in tone of the posts - the HUBB's posters are a class bunch.
Thank you ALL!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
