Hi everyone
Hows it goin' out there? I'm new on this site although I've done a bit of travelling in days gone... Not been as far as some of you but I did eastern Europe b4 the wall came down on an XS650, travelled to Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Poland to watch speedway world championships, toured around Greek Islands on an old DT125LC and done some green laning in the hills near Ichmeler in Turkey. I've also ridden an old kwaka Z200 to Utrecht in Holland and back, the worst part of that journey was the trip from West Cumbria to Harwich! How I hate the M6!
I got a KLE500 now, which is a great bike for throwing round the back lanes up here in the lakes. It's good to see so many threads regarding this bike on the HUBB, looks like I'm in good company.
Look forward to hearing and learning more from you all soon... Happy travelling

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.
