Hi! we are just one big happy family,helped and inspired by each other, and watched over by Grant and the rest of he's harding working crew, I joined this site 6yrs ago and asked all the normal questions, like ..which bike,and what about this or that?...listened to all the answers,after 5 heart attacks and a quadrupal by-pass.6mths after my operation ,i kitted my bike and locked my front door and rode off,not looking back...Now after 4yrs back in Uk planning to move to Spain.Who are we? we are the people who do NOT just walk the path of 'life' with blinkers on. we ride it , and turn stones over and forage in the bushes ,looking for more in life,''live the dream'',face the challenge,ride into it, even the weeks ride across Europe,is more than a personal acheivment, .Bike riders have a bond, bike travellers seem to have just that 'bit' more,We are all ages,men woman..Doe's that answer your question? by the way I am just a youngster 55yrs old

I don't remember the mugging at all. I got home and it took a bit to get my key in the lock and I thought, "I didn't drink that much".
I've only had 2 seizures. The first as a reminder that life is short. My neurologist said if I go another year without a seizure, he'll probably ween me off. Which is when I'm planning on starting Round 2.

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.
