ADJF - With a Super Cub
Hello Everyone
I've just signed up and so I should introduce myself. I am from the UK and live in Wales but I do spend a lot of time in the Alps in Switzerland and I take my motorcycle with me. I'm fortunate enough to own and ride the greatest motorcycle on the planet, I have a 1993 Honda C90 Supercub, which I've used through Europe and the UK. I have been searching for some resources for longer trips and I came across Horizons Unlimited so I've registered an account.
My motorcycle is almost original, and whilst I'm trying to keep it that way, I'm looking at ways to extend my capabilities on it so I can support myself on longer trips than just overnight camping or stop off at the odd friends house or B&B or even meet up with my wife at an arranged point where she will be with our motorhome. I'm particularly looking for resources on how I can get some off the shelf panniers/baggage systems to take on and off my Cub.
I'm looking forward to trawling through all of the information on the forums and knowledge articles.
Best regards

Welcome to the forum,
There is increasing interest in small bike touring so hopefully you should be able to find the information you are looking for here, there are members who have been to most places on most bikes.

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.
