Welcome to Horizons Unlimited
Are you a Motorcycle Traveller? Does the smell of spices wafting through the air make you think of Zanzibar, a cacophony of honking horns is Cairo, or a swirl of brilliantly patterned clothing Guatemala? Then this is the site for you!
Motorcycle Travel Bulletin Board - the HUBB!
Your meeting place - specifically for long distance motorcycle travellers. We invite you to share your information, travel tips, tales of woe and joy, everything that made (or broke!) your trip. Ask all the questions you want! With over 32,000 enthusiastic members from 150 countries around the world, someone is bound to have the answers you need.
Trip Planning
What do I need to know? Lots! But
not nearly as much as you might think. Many people are put off because they think there is so much you need to know, so much planning and preparation, that they get bogged down in the morass of information they THINK they need, and never do it, because it all just seems too hard.
The truth is it's actually pretty easy - anyone reading this, with a valid motorcycle license, and ANY motorcycle, can get on it and ride around the world. It's BEEN DONE! We know people who got their license's weeks before leaving, and made it all the way around. Tiny women, grandmothers and grandfathers, pensioners, big husky guys, fresh out of school kids, all have done it.
Having said that, there are a few things you should do to make the trip easier, safer and more fun, so read on!

"After a couple of hours the roads got worse and the riding got harder. Roadworks after roadworks didn't aid our speed, but the 'making good' of the road suddenly ceased at what appeared to be the worst bit. Rough crevices across the road, rocky outcrops to navigate, and then mud, mud, mud everywhere were to be the order of the day. Thank God we had not tried to make this treacherous and exhausting journey in the short afternoon of the day before! Not to mention the other 'dangers of the road' that we had been told about, coming in the forms of armed drug gangs hanging about in the dense jungle-shrouded mountains. I don't care if I need a pee! I'm not going in there! Thankfully we didn't see any of those undesirables, but we did get stuck in a lot of mud!"
