Beginning my RTW q's on community and suggestions
Hey My name is Leah I've been riding solo around Australia on a vulcan 800 for the last 7 months and am headed to south east Asia for the next leg of the trip in November.
I've doing well so far, but am starting to feel a little anxious about the next big step.
Is there anyone who has any suggestions on locations i should or shouldn't hit?
Any advice would be super helpful 
what kind of gear has everyone been bringing along?
also is there any sort of community off line for women on motorcycles, specifically in Australia?
thank you so much

Welcome to the Hubb
If you could be a little more specific, I´m sure people could answer any questions you might have. South East Asia is a big place! Are you shipping your bike, camping, etc? Somethnig in particular you need to figure out?
Good luck!

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.
