Hello Carl,

Just a thought - you can ride Europe any time. How about a dash through Europe and more time in cheaper NA. Four weeks will zoom by.

that was the origanal idea and depending on funds and health that might still be the case,i made the big mistake of buying large scale wall map of europe and one of morroco for the spare room at home and the hi-lighter pen became crazed and plotted the route of all the places ive wanted to visit but never had the time,money ect to go to before,im not in the best of health and wanted to see as much as possible on my first major outting,this is because i may not get a chance to do it again,if i feel im up to it ill go back to some of the areas ill pass through and revisit them properly and take the time to explore,but for now ill be happy to just say that "ive been there"dose that make sence?

Welcome to the forum. If you're from the UK and wanna do Europe and Morocco in 4 weeks you have to do a lot of miles. I'm planning a trip from the north of The Netherlands to the south of Spain over small scenic roads on a 125cc, camping, I figure it takes me about 3 weeks taking it relatively easy riding from 10.00 to 18.00h.

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.
