New member - long time lurker!
Hi all, I've been visiting this site for 6 years but have only just registered. I suppose I felt I was not qualified to be a member because my trips have been quite tame compared to most others here. I have only managed to get as far as central Romania but when the time is right I intend to get farther and see much more. Like most, I can only manage the "annual" 2 or 3 week block for a bike trip.
I am getting married hopefully in 2012 and the honeymoon will be a 4 week stint on the bike
Maybe see some of you at the 2011 UK meet. I'm on a Black 2005 KTM adventure, dark green tent and with a grin from ear to ear

Welcome to the site. Does your future bride ride her own bike or you planning on going 2up?

We will be riding two up. She wants to learn to ride, and I'll support her when she's ready to take it up. She has a twin sister who rides so that is an inspiration.
The honeymoon trip looks like it will be a toss up between a jaunt up to Nordkapp and back through Finland or down to the heel of Italy, across to Albania (if there's a ferry) and back up home. I need to check distances/time for the trip. It's no fun belting along at warp one just to cover the mileage
This working-for-a-living really gets in the way

Hello and LC8rider. I believe I have seen your posts on ADVrider. I used to own a '06 Adventure. It sure was a fun ride

It's not the size of the trip you've done, it's the size of the dream you want to do which qualifies you as a HUBBer!
Welcome to the club.
Dave.

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