Hello all
Hello all,
Ive been reading these forums for a while now so i figured its about time i made an account and started posting
Im based in North London (whats left of it) and im still a bit of a bike touring newbie, due to leave on my first touring/rough camping foray into Europe in the next week or so. Ive done a fair bit in the UK and a little in Japan before though.
Ive been spending most of the summer kitting out my 1999 DR350 for adventure, and riding greenlanes (while day dreaming of tearing across distant plains) in preparation for the touring i plan to do on it
Thanks for having me and i hope i can contribute to this fantastic resource for adventurous bikers!

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.
