Hello from Bonny Scotland

Hi Everyone
I have been planing a big trip for the past six months with the intention of visiting every capital city in Europe with my bike this has been a bucket list dream of mine for a long time. Being sixty this year and semi retired it was decided its now or never. I will up-date you all nearer the start date next spring its looking like an eight month journey of a lifetime.

Keep between the hedges
Tabby

It's a good way to know really Europe , not the economical one like some politicians want to sell us , but the human one.
A friend of mine did it last year,i met him in september 2013 in St Amans HU mini meeting which was is first step of an 11 month travel joining all European capital cities riding an Ural outfit with his 9 years old son , you can visit his website "zac&olive" there are hundreds of pictures with comments (in french) and their track on a map . I made a trip in Scandinavia in june 2013 and could maybe give some details also about it .
Anyway ,maybe see you on your trip if you pass through Normandy Regards Roger

Good Luck Tabby in your adventure. When are you setting off? Only thinking that winter will be here soon and many mountain roads could be closed.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

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

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
