Hi from Düsseldorf - Germany
Hi all,
I'm Claus, 48 yrs young, living in Düsseldorf/Germany. My plan is to do a RTW trip, starting with the first leg hopefully in September 2020. I do lack a bit of practice riding a motorcycle - used to have a XT660Z until a few years ago and just today have ordered a black Ténéré 700 which I will pick up in March next year.
Thank you all for the tremendous amount of useful contributions to this forum - I have learned a lot the past few weeks just by reading. I will give something back once I have experiences to share.
Take care,
Claus

G'day mate
no worries - riding experience will improve while you're on your way. And the Tenere isn't too heavy for such a trip, esp. if you want to include dirt roads. A good piece of advice somebody wrote on the HUBB: "When in doubt, apply throttle"
Good Luck!

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.
