Hi from Bournemouth!
Hey guys!
I'm very new to the game, but also very keen to get involved as fast as possible. I've been riding for almost two years now and my other half has just passed her test and is currently looking for a bike. So of course, with very little experience behind us we've already decided to plan our first trip for this year, hopefully riding from Bournemouth - Torrevieja, Spain in October!
Anyway, hopefully I'll get to know some of you as I'm sure I'll be hanging around here asking lots of (probably silly) questions!

hi from Bournemouth
Hi sgt,
Also from Bournemouth, welcome to the site, done a small amount of travel on the bike over the last six years, on my own or with a few mates, if you fancy a coffee and a chat just drop me a line. Off to the HUB meeting in Germany in May and back to Rippley in June, apart from that well we will just have to wait and see.
Colin.

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.
