Two Days to Go
Hi All,
Well I leave on the 1st of August as I've had visa problems for Russia, no big deal just time consuming and extremely frustrating.
For those that don't already know here's my site
F650 Ride the World - A journey of Global Proportions
It's going to have loads more information added to it on a regular basis, so if you want an update on what's going on out there over the next Horizon then visit often. Also I have to say a great big thank you to my sponsors for helping me out, it would have taken so much longer to save up and buy everything that they have donated to my trip. *Note that I’ve only asked for sponsored items that I WILL need on my journey and are thus considered essentials and not silly things like iPods.
As a thank you to everyone who have helped to sponsor the trip I’ve added a review section so that you can see exactly who helped me out, what products they sell, and more importantly if the product is worth spending YOUR money on. My reviews CAN be trusted 100% as all of the sponsors have had to agree that I will write completely unbiased reviews before offering me their support.
Thank you to All the lovely people at the Horizons Unlimited meeting in June for all of their help and advice, and a massive thank you to Grant and Susan without them and their Amazing Website Site, I wouldn’t have know where to start planning Love you both
So with that final note, all I have to say is “Two Days to Go!”

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.
