Welcome to the Hubb

Hi Darma,

welcome to the Hubb.

Dear all, I new here from Indonesia, I join 'cause I want to going around the world with my little bike,
... dont say you want to go ... say you will go and set a departure date.

Because the hardest day of your journey is still ahead of you, it is the day you leave home ... and second hardest day is the day you return. I have been half drunk on both days, maybe a little bit over the limit in Germany, but this was the only way I could handle this days.

Your bike is perfect for it, a Honda 150 cc you cant go wrong ... they are nearly all over the world, so you will find parts and mechanics. Look on the internet for racks that your local welder can fabricate, choose hard or soft luggage. But dont spend too much money on the bike before you leave.

As we can see, you can take pictures, so this is what you will maybe need to promote your journey and earn a bit of money with it or find sponsors, if you need them.

First thing you need to do is to plan an aproximate route ... e.g. down to Austalia, South America, North America, Africa, Europe, Asia and back to Indonesia. Than look on the Hubb and on other websites for the visas you will need lets say in the first 12 months. Than read on the Hubb about the paperwork you will need, e.g. a Carnet des passages for Australia.

Read on the shipping database for the first shipment of your bike. E.g. from Australia to South America. Learn what people do to make their bikes as small as possible to crate it for flying.

All the best, enjoy, its your journey. Tell us all about it here on the Hubb.

Greetings mika

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.
