brill site iv put it in my favorites

hello susan and grant managed to cross the alps and are now in unesco heritage city of dubrovnik (croatia) now we have to hurry up to get our ship to haifa from piraeus (greece) next time more via email cheers ps reorg of your page is great Best search site

I just read your technical advice on breaking tyre beads. On BMW's I have used and recommend using the centre stand! A two person exercise, with bike on centre stand one person leans the bike over on one side of the stand while the other person places the wheel under the other. Its then gently lowered and the weight on the bike pushes down one side of the stand onto the tyre popping it off the rim. Perform the operation a couple of times while the wheel handler turns it around a bit. It's so simple and effective I've used it in Moroccan deserts, Turkish roadsides and just outside Leh, Ladakh having travelled over the secoond highest pass in the world.

can't for the life of me understand why you disliked new plymouth. next time you're in godzone let me know and i'll show you a beautiful place...elle

This is an amazing resource, I don't know how we would begin to plan our trip around the world if it wasn't for this site! Thank you so much for this wealth of information! :)

Ran across the site and am now a frequent visitor and enjoy it greatly. Ride a 1200 RT. Thanx.

Very interesting, got my mind wandering! Wish I could do it sometime. Louis

Ed. Comment: You can - just stop wishing and decide to do it! We all started out wishing - but some decided to DO it - and once you make that decision, it's amazing how all the things that prevented you, suddenly become less of a stopper, and more of a simple difficulty to be sorted out.

Found the site today at work, while not technically working. Have been faithfully watching Ewen and Charley every Tuesday night, and now have a greater interest in trading my litre class sport touring bike in for something more suitable. You've got so much info here, I don't know where to start. Really impressed! It will make the off-season so much better. All the best, Glen.

Thank so much for helping change the law in Ecuador regarding temporary importation of vehicles. I will receive my pick up tomorrow here in Puerto Cabello and will finish in Cartagena, Colombia after driving to Ushuaia. I shipped it from California with Wallenius Wilhelmsen ($2500 for 31 cubic meters). They have quoted me roughly $500 to ship from Cartagena to Panama. I am very grateful because I was going to stop in Caracas just to acquire the libreta de paso. Just noticed the warning regarding ads. I hope that naming the shipping company does not violate rule.

Hello to all and was cruising around and found your site AND those comments by Heiko Neumann concerning the hostel guy of the Dawson City Hostel, Yukon. I was there the same time as Heiko and that other fellow he was mentioning (and he might not remember me since I normally stay away from arrogant buggers like him)............but have to say this: A) the hostel is just fine. B)The owner struck me as a nice helpful fellow. C) It seems some people have a hard time adjusting to "Rustic" - like the bath house and the old wood stove and the ides of having to split wood.......and NOT washing clothes in the bath house buckets :) D) I remember that Heiko fellow as a over-bearing know-all dripping with sarcasm as his only intellectual tool he knows how to use. All of you have a nice day, Calv.

Very good site! I like it! I just wanted to pass on a note to let you know what a great job you have done with this site. Thanks!

How did you locate road knights mc panama/could you e-mail it to me, I am a former charter member and am looking for former members for a possible reunion.

Ed. comment - to contact Bob, send me a note via the contact us form at the bottom of the page.

...TIME IS CONTEXT... KEEP RIDING, KEEP TELLING STORIES.

Hey, Grant! Nice meeting you in Creel, and thanks for inspiring my buddy Jasen Mommer. He has finally shut up about Harleys! Duke Sheppard

A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never sure.

found this site by mistake I'm planing a trip to kazakhstan in 2008 poss beyond great site is a great help and has only push my resolve to do this trip. following in the tyre tracks of Mondo enduro and Terra circa also Ewan Macgregor and Charlie Boorman.

grant, i was just at the meeting in creel, and it was the most eyeopening experience of my life. I came down on my virago 750, and we made it back last night (after tami experincing a broken leg in silver city, nv on the way to the gila cliff dwellings riding 2-up on duke's st1100, stupid sandy roads on a road bike!) anyway i have spent my whole first day back home searching for some kind of dual-sport bike that i can afford...ie..broke whitewater rafting guide in the fall. but your meeting has opened a whole new world to me, and i am hoping to get the bike and pratice to do "the trip" someday. because i felt that by creel mexico i was only just getting into the rythym, and want MORE! thanks grant, and everyone in creel that made a motorcycle meet more about life than the "scene"... Thanks MOMMER

All is fair in love and war ! Water Filter

Mike & John, Hope your trip is going well and hope to see you soon in Colorado. Kent finally relinquished your website information to me. It was great visiting/drinking with you guys in Seward. Have a safe trip! GEP

i love your site

I think this web page is great. I work on a oil RIG (we are in Mauritania at the moment), and I'm planning my world trip...it sounds crazy, but I still don't have my driving license.Any way...I'm really enjoiging all the information and comments in this web p. and I'm sure is gonna help me a lot to organice my trip.Thank you and kind regards to everyone out there Gunther

danke f¨r das! Merci pour votre site! the vespa gang is happy to see your website!!! see you the sorcerer 70s.ch

hi, just thought id say what a great site this is, its been real helpful recently. im currently planning a trip through the himalayas but am having problems, mainly funding and ( im only 20 with 2-3 years riding experience) with enough patience im sure i can break them, lol. keep up the good work

I can't believe it!!! About 3 months ago i bought Ewan & Charlie's "the long way round" and that started me looking at net sites, i now have just got ted simmon's "jupiters travels". I found HU when i was surfin' and i can't believe how many people are travelling around the world on bikes. I have a 1985 Harley electra glide (striped of bat wings and crome bits) and i have done a few trips out from the Sunshine coast. My question is how do so many people get the money to keep travelling? do you have normal jobs? do you have your own business so you can take time off? and how do i convince my wife and three young kids that i need to go for a bike ride for 6 months. Does anyone want to be a temp husband and father for a while.

aloha from franci and turb from maui hi great site keep up the good work

Hello, I hope you can understand my English.I'm traveling Africa with motorcycle. In my web site there are much information about Africa (GPS, hotel, Visa, road and so on...). I hope it makes your trip comfortable... access the following; geocities.jp/seagull04jp/ and click 'Library', then in 'Africa' folder there are much information. excuse me, some documents are Japanese. Continually I renewal them. Thank you for kind reading.

Thanks Mike - and good to hear we've inspired you, thanks! Enjoy the ride, and I hope to see you at one of our Travellers Meetings someday - telling your story! :)

Hey I love your site. I've been inspired and last week I did a 500 to 600 mile trip from my home in upstate New York to Rhode Island and back solo on my stock 125cc 1979 Vespa. It was my biggest trip yet, and i love the looks when people say "you rode to Rhode Island on that?" It certainly won't be my last big trip. Perhaps a bigger bike is in my future, but you can't beat the gas milage on the 125cc! Every time I stopped to fill it up it was less than a third empty. Thanks!

Nope, not us! There seems to be a lot of British Columbians / Canadians on the road these days. We'd love to get back to the Lofotens one day.

Hello,my friend and I (XJR 1300) met a couple on Pan European who were coming from British Columbia (Canada). It was in mid July at Lofoten islands, Norway. Were these YOU, Grant and Suzan?Stay fine, Artur/Strangers Poland strangers.riders.pl

This is "The Godfather" of the websites. Masterpiece! Scott

If you havent been to one of the HU Travellers meetings dont miss out on next years.Ripley, UK was my first time and it was well worth it. I met some really interesting people who had been to some really great places. Everyone there has a story to tell or a trip planned. The talks given over the weekend were really inspirational and informative and the beer and food were good too! Well done to the organizers.I am really looking forward to visiting Morocco later this year.Alec

I just looked at your top 31 pics from your travels and the statement that comes to mind is how ridiculously wonderful! It's almost absurd that you or anyone would actually follow through on such journey. good job! Someday I'll cross the border but until then traveling the u.s still has a lot of sites to see.peace and loveshelly

Pics are great and it reminds me of our trip but we did it in a 4x4.I just have one thing though and that is the pic of the two red roos as you have said,well these two marsupials are actually Euros.How do I know this??well I am a wildlife carer and I currently have one of these little blokes in care.Even so your pics are great and I really enjoyed looking at them.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

Looks like there is a lot of information here. It's somewhat intimidating or confusing figuring out how to work it or submit blogs.

Editors comment - no surprise - there's 14,500 pages at last count! And Clay did figure it all out - his blog is soon to be listed on the Travellers Stories section.

Just looking around sites tonight trying to figure out how to promote a small one I've started at ridenebraska.com I believe I have seen some of these stories in the Yahoo forums. I'm a new rider, but hope to take some trips like those described! Thanks!

VERY GOOD WORK.THANK YOU.BEST GREETINGS FROM GREECE.NIKOS

Just browsing thru my BMW Club Journal and saw mention of this website. Spent all afternoon browsing it. Really think its great. Made me feel confident and comfortable about considering an RTW trip. A trip which has been in my head ever since I first read Ted Simons book Jupiters Travels some 30 years ago. Now slighly older some think I'm mad others sad. This afternoon was not a wasted day. I know now the day has come to be on my way. Thanks to you all. Brian

Brilliant website. Im currently in Schleiden in Germany. My rear tyre is practically dead from the Nurburg Ring, and i was panicing because i couldnt find information on tyre fitting places around here. Stumbled across the site, and got some useful information, as well as some names and telephone numbers of people who may be able to help. Giving them a call shortly. This site is potentially my saviour! Thanks for the information, and keep up the good work. "These are the days that must happen to us... absolutely!" Feel free to email me if anyone is in Yorkshire travelling - baby_blade_tourer ((a--t}} yahoo dotttcom if you need any help - immore than prepared to help out. Joe

What a fantasic web site,had a ZZR250 after passing my bike test in 1991 and did 28000 miles in 18 months,except winter months. this also included doing the shopping, going to work and basic U.K. travel. I went to Berlin, fully "tented" up etc on it, slept in shop door ways, petrol stations, woods and motorway and park bench`s and two night`s at the Ritz in Paris (with the wife). What a wonderful way to live, while on your holidays. (beats staying in the pub all your life wacthing crappy football on Sky Sport`s). Then i got after that a GPZ500s, XT600e, F650gs, R1150r and now a TT600Re.Stay Safe one and All. :)

I live in the Black Sea Coasts of TURKEY.I like bike and bikers.I just wanted to say HELLO to all.Also I want to help ang give info to all bikers who want to visit Turkey.I see that lots of bikers fallow the road of black sea to reah georgia or Iran. I will be happy to help people who fallow the road of black sea to reach georgia or iran.Even they can stay at my home.

Hi,you have a nice Page ! Best wishesJelena

Correct, handguns are illegal to bring across the border or to carry in Canada. Don't need one here anyway! :) Have a great trip!

A small group of us will be traveling from to Alaska starting July 1, 2005. We plan to go to Prudoe Bay. Any suggestions on carrying fire arms (hand guns) through Canada. Sounds like it will be impossible to carry a handgun through.

It is again and again more interesting to visit this web site. indescribable what you can find in this page. greetings from germanyJoerg, csr2004.de

Good site! DonC

great work, great stories, great achievements.I think keep it up so that I can post my story, round trip in Tanzania.

I wish You and the whole HU community happy holidays and lots of safe miles or km's on the roadSee you at the next HU meetingNik

Folks I tell you.....thanks, first of all, for the direct information pass-on!!! And to everyone else - if you have a website, put a link to Susan and Grant's page on it - they deserve it!! Klaus (virtulanguage.com)

Carnet de passage and were issued at the borders of Turkey, Syria and Jordan for a small fee!!

I was able to get temporary Carnets and for the Africa Twin at the borders of Turkey, Syria and Jordan for a small fee!!

Great web site - plan on joining and will try to get to next years meeting near here - did not know about Revelstoke or would have been there.Came back this spring 2004 from 4 months 2 up on a Suzuki Vstrom 1000 - went from Canada - USA - Mexico - Guatamala - Belize - and back - exhilarating.Planning to go to Alaska in 2005 - any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Very interesting site , searching and lucked into your site. Seen a guestbook reply from Klaus Orth in Japan . I would like to talk futher , please contact. Thanks GO

Nice site. Found it looking for a pic of a 2003 Triumph tiger, like my latest bike. We do a lot of long distance stuff out here in CO and a bunch of mountain riding and dirt riding in the national forest across from my house... All the folks seem like nice people on your site, doing what I'd love to if I had more than 3 weeks vacation a year. Well, tell em they can camp out here at 8,200' behind Boulder when passing through. Later, Ed

Hi Folks, I happened upon your HU site quite by accident and am impressed. Most of all I like the ability to update one's own travel tips whilst on the road. This is great!Am in the process of getting another bike and intend to ride out into the Great Sandy Desert (on a track, not willy-nilly) for a test run.Keep you posted. -cheers!

Hi Guys, great to see the website's still rolling, we have a baby girl,"Amber" now so bikes are out for a bit. Good to see all the stories and dream though!! We now subscribe to the " One world,Two hulls" as we could'nt ride our bikes we bought a catamaran. Gotta keep moving one way or another. Maybe we will see you in Canada again one day, keep it kick'in, All the best from, The Bajan crew.

Congratulations Adam and Mel!! Grant and Susan

Hi there Susan and Grant, (ladies first again!) Well, I finally made it to your guestbook - and I finally have to say - the best site concerning bikes I have seen so far on the net. All the info I need right at the fingertip. And - maybe, one of these days my dream will also come true - riding, riding, riding - whereever the road will take me. But until then it is still quite a way to go - security comes first. Anyway, thanks for adding my page to your link list. And as I can see, you haven't been to Japan so far - at least not by bike. You are invited, whenever you come over here, stop by - the least I can offer you is some food, drinks and a place to sleep. Take care, safe riding and looking forward to hearing from you!

What a great site!Thank you Susan & Grant.One year to go before retirement. I got my passport, I got my motorcycle & some gear, I got my first destination: South, South, andSouth. And now I know, with this web-site, I got friends. I itch so much to go, I can hardly focus on my work.
See you all down there, if not at the next H. U. meeting.
Denis M.

Great website!Greetings from Poland for trevellers!Our plan-RTW (low-budget) easyriders.pl

I was just informed about your site yesterday on 9-26-04 as I was camping at TWO(Two Wheels Only) campground in Suches,Georgia. I have taken numerous cross country trips here in the U.S., have traveled accross Canada and Alaska. My next trip will be to Copper Canyon in March 05, so I will be studying the information that you have published on the area. Wish that I could join you there in Oct. but I have other commitments. Very informative site for M.C. travelers. Thanks.

I've been visiting this site almost daily since I decided that I realy would make the trip, and have found HU 100% helpfull to my planning in every respect.HU is a success in what it aims to do and long may it coninue.Best wishes to all.Ride Sure!

Hi there folks, i'm a Brit ex-pat working and now almost living in Savannakhet, Laos. I'm in the process of getting my bike in the UK ready for shipping out here.Always happy to see other travellers passing thru, can assist with local information etc. email me first to make initial contact.

Hello what a great m/c site with the best stories i have read in a long time very informative. Keep up the good work you have got me hooked. Best Regards Ross

Hi ... really enjoyed your site. One thing I haven't tried as of yet is camping with a bike. My family loves all outdoor activities, especially camping, backpacking, hiking, etc.All the best ... Pam

Hi Grant & Susan, At the 2004 International BMW Rally in Spokane I attended your Friday night seminar after Chris and Erin Seminar. I have received your e-magazine for a few years. Your website is amazing. I have gotten lots of useful information of your site. I was also impressed by your seminar and the great tips received. The next day I rode beside your white elephant and it made me proud to be seen with you guys. Thanks for keeping this website going. See you guys in October in Mexico. Cheers Ruby

Still the best RTW / motorcycling website bar none. I was planning a basic trip from London to Croatia but have now decided to ask my employer for a six months sabatical and try to ride Canada, USA, central and south America (top to bottom) in 2005. After 27 years' service (and one divorce) I figure they owe me something! I went to see GlobeBusters husband and wife team after their RTW record breaking jaunt. Your site and their talk - truly inspirational! Cheers, Richard Nash.

I am loving following your trip. I was trying to find away to get a message to you, but I am not sure this is the answer. I am so glad that Cleve is not the typist of your journey. I hope you have a blast and are very safe. Much Love!

I would like to attend your meeting in derbyshire but need more information on where it is being held.regardssteve

Hi a freind put me onto your site .Therese and I rode from the Uk to Australia in 1991-92 on a reconstructed BMW R65.the only drama we had mechanical was a rear main going.[stuffed] in Iran.$25 US. had it fixed. we got home 4 months later and I believe the bike is still going.We have our trip notes, though only in a book and not on the computer.we didn't have the conivience of internet cafe much back then. will have to get onto the computer . your site has spurred me on. thanks steve and therese treloar

i have just discovered your web site and thought what a good weekend out your meet would be, i was born in ripley and know lumb farm well, doh! i'm away in the alps on my new ktm 950 that weekend, no contest, your meet will have to wait till next year. ps the red lion on ripley market is the cheapest beer in the town, see you next year.

Hi Susan & Grant: what a great and pleasant surprise to discover your site. I'm an old biker (will be 60 next year) and although I'm presently bikeless (due to a hopefull momentarily and somewhat delicate financial situation), I shall return to the community sooner than my neighborhood think!!! Meanwhile I'm dedicating my weekends and spare time to bicycling, a bit too furiously according to my relatives. Susan and Grant, to make it short: I just want to make it plain that if you both should show up at my hometown (Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil), anytime, don't look for a hotel - You'll be my guests, I have room enough for a couple (and bikes!) and maybe we could have a nice glass of Cabernet while listening to a string quartet - Schubert, Beethoven - or even Roger Waters, why not? That's it. God speed, as I once heard in Zermatt. Jorge.

excellent site. its got me thinking.

I've just spotted you in lonelyplanet and then i found your site.great informations and great trip.do you think is possible to do it by hitchhiking?i will start from istanbul.thanks.

My boyfriend and I are riding through Turkey and found a great place to stay in Selcuk. It is a very 'bike friendly' place called Hotel Akay. The owner is a rider and can help hook you up with parts in Izmir (close by). There are lots of nice day trips tp do around this area, and of course the ruins of Ephesus. Now off to the south coast to find some more of this great Turkish hospitality!

hi, enjoyed cruising your site and th atta boy ya gave me for being an alternative to tim in rebuilding and truing all the gs series ''unrebuildable" wire wheels wheels, you quoted $320.....not true....it's $200+/- for lace and true plus parts...ie using good partswhen we try to save the customer money by re-using his existing spokes and nipples we run into problems..trying to dismantle the wheel, frozen/rusted grub screws and nipples, spokes that do not readily come out of the rim etc... we know lot's of tricks to minimize the cost, the clock does tick at $60 hour flat rate, and we are constantly trying to find better deals and sources for these applications thanks woody, holler if i can be of further assistance

Good site!

Very good page, this site is very beatiful. Congratulations. Robson.

This is a fantastic website. Almost every time I look something I need up using Google, I'm directed to a part of HU! (or Chris Scott's site). I'm going to be riding a Honda NX650 Dominator from London to Cape Town, down the west hopefully as far as Cameroon/Eq. Guinea and Sao Tome, then airfreighting to Kenya and down the east side to CT. I've given up my job so it doesn't matter how long it takes, but I reckon up to a year. I plan to leave London at the start of October 04. It may amuse you to know that I only passed my bike test 2 months ago. A holiday in Greece in summer 03 with hiring of 125's led to my current state of excited unemployment. Anyone doing anything similar, see you on the "road"! Thanks also to Bike Magazine's Dan Walsh for monthly inspiration...

What a great site, have read it and dreamed on and off for the last couple of years about jacking it in and doing an rtw-just like many of the other readers i suppose. Just lacking the nuts to do it but hey i can read on and respect the people who're out there living it and at least follow what they're up to and where.keep up the good work, best site on the web bar none. Ride safe & ride free.

Hello, friends! Greetings from Siberia!

Hi there, we just discovered HU a week ago what a great site! Since then every free minute is dedicated going true this huge site. We are planning very seriously our own RTW in a few years when the kids will be full grown. For now we are having pleasure dreaming about it and getting organised. We are located in Montreal, CANADA. If anyone needs a little help we offer our assistance to give as much info as you could need when you plan to cross our country.

Looking for Biker in Pakistan! Will soon stay in Pakistan and looking for some people on motorbikes who want to go with my back to Europa via Iran/Turkey. See you... -I-

congratulations for a very good site, I knew it by some friends. I'm almost a biker, but I feel completely one. Greetings from Argentina

Happy New Year Just bought my first bike (GL1500 Goldwing), at 46 years old. Planning a 4000 mile trip to Spain and Portugal August 2004. Found your site today and already taking notes, thanks.

Great site! Pity I learned about it the day before we leave for South America. Dec. 16th we shipped a R100GS with side car and an F650 to Santiago. My wife (56) son (20) and I (60) will be riding in Chile and Agentina during January and February. We leave tomorrow morning. What fun it has been preparing; now we get to enjoy the ride.

very good site

Hello,I would like to wish you a happy new year.Pieter

Hello from south america, Paraguay.I just visited your excelant homepage.Very good work.

Grant and Susan - Awesome job here. I admire your work and envy your daily adventures. I have traveled across the USA twice and am going to ride Europe and maybe North Africa early in 2004. Hope I meet up with you some day. Keep your knees in the breeze! Mark McAullay - I love the quote you posted Steve

By far and away the best motorcycle web site.Just so inspring that it has really rekindled my wandering sprit. Starting to day to make plans for a trip from here San Antonio to Alaska. May take a while, money and time but I will do it. Thanks.

I've been working on the Arizona bike week site and the information is starting to come in for next years event. Hope you all come out west and enjoy the rides. it should be another great time... until then Keep on Ridin! Fordo

HiRegards from Norway!

good site!!!

A friend has let me use his, until now new-ish, Chang Jiang 750, ( sidevalve 1937 design BMW) with sidecar, here in Chengdu (west China). I have "done" about 800kms so far, the bike 980kms. Its a little different from the Triumph Sprint ST I had back in Australia, but am enjoying the experience, and enjoying the motorbike. In fact am considering buying one and riding it to Europe, next spring. The sidecar is very stable at all speeds, seems to be built like a tractor and with only petrol and a spark to worry about, offers the simplicity that modern bikes lack. A new one here in China costs about 15,500rmb for a sidevalve, or 16,500rmb for OHV. I found your site through cj750.com. the Sth African importer. I have been in China 3 years, teaching "the English", the last year here in Chengdu, Sichuan. Should anyone visiting your site want info in relation to China, happy to help. If you are considering a trip to China, a good place to start is by reading the travel guides plus a few books like "River Town", "Life and Death in Shanghi", and "Wild Swans". cheers, David Finlay.

Hello everyone ! We're travelling on our Triumph Tiger and just wanted to wish: A good ride for all the bikers around the globe ! If you want to find us, then have a look on our homepage: tiger-club.ch/weltreise Happy travelsMarcel and Flavia

as one who flies both the Canadian & South African flags,your RTW jouneys had my umpteenth visit to your site reading browsing and awed for the past few hours.my father rode an "indian" in the thirties,i, regretably missed out,thus the yearning; at least i can do it virtually through HU.com.thanks to you both for an incredible "Leekah" www.

Greetings from Indiana, usa. 10-9-03M words of praise to this web site, thank you. In 1968 when I was 19 I decided to journey my way to Alaska to see the land of the midnight Sun. Well, my timing was a bit off as I went there on a 100 dirt bike 10,000 miles round trip at the wrong time of the year but, not to worry since at this age nothing realy mattered but just get there. My trip was september 1st thru november 30. Just made it home in time for the first real COLD in Indiana. I have many stories to tell about the trip as one could imagin but my real Journey was in 1996 when I returned on another Motorcycle where I could go faster and really make some time which took me 30 days and this time I went with time available to be at Prudhoe Bay Alaska on the 21 st of the June month just to see the Midnight Sun as I wanted to do the first time. And wow what an experience which I shared with a friend from England on this day. We keep in touch now as we became fast friends being interested in the very same thing. (24 hours of Sun light). Thank You for the space here and enjoy the 2003 fall of the year as I do Tim Orr, Indianapolis

Picked up one of your flyers at a motorcycle shop. I am interested in Mexico, perhaps 2004 or 5, or Alaska same time frame.

Hello

G'day Grant & Susan. Wonderful web site.What would have once taken independant travellers weeks to find out, can now be read on your site in moments. It's worth pointing out to people, that anyone thinking of travelling by themselves, (outside of organised tours), whether by M/Cycle or not, can obtain a great deal of needed information on these pages. Again; great work. Regards: Knightro.

Your site is the BEST!!! I have a Transalp at home just waiting for me to get off my butt and get out into the big wide world.....Thanks for all your inspiration. Your poem on the "why" pushed me over the edge. Female? 55? Kids grown and gone!....No excuses, I'm soooo gone...

Just learned of this site from a rtw I put up for a few days, great site and good luck to all, Pat

Great site, lots of info.Spent most of the summer riding in Alaska and the Yukon, honkeytonk to honkeytonk.If ya get a chance i'll have a beer with ya at the Howlin' dog Saloon to the Golden Eagle Saloon,to Chicken Creek Saloon then to Dawson city at the "Pit" (Westminter Hotel) the pink building.Take 'er easy... and if ya do, take 'er twice.

FOUND this site just breezing thru the internet. I'm AMAZED there are people that think like I do. Just LOVE to two-wheel travel. Present ride -Y2K Concours. I will bookmark this address and come back often for help. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Cool website!

I am an Englishman who has lived in Switzerland for 14 years. Was a biker in England during 1960's, 70's and 80's (lots of oily jeans etc, but good vibrations). Now taken it up again in Switzerland (Africa Twin)it's as wonderful as ever! Thanks Grant & Susan, the website is superb and VERY helpful.All best wishes, Steve.

a couple of weeks ago, i stumbled upon your website. few days later, i prepared for the trip of my life. i went up north starting from singapore, basically "conquering" all of Malaysia by myself on a stock xr400. took me 2 weeks but i felt it`s not enough. looking at you guys, i wonder if i`m capable of beating your record. i don`t join motorcycle clubs or any other crap like dat. everything rely on luck, luck & more luck. my next trip, i`d like to visit a special fren in Bandung, Indonesia on my bike. have you guys been there or know someone who has? i like 2 learn everything there is to know about this journey

G'day, Just passing, saw your light on thought I'd pop in!! I went to the meeting in Ulmarra, great meeting, I'll be writing a run report for the m/c clubs of SA WA NSW, QLD, and for you guys too. read me later.

I just looked through your website and wanted to drop you a complement.

Excelent work.... Chile is very close to what you have wrote... I have many things to read and learn in your site.. thanks a lot
Saludos desde Chile

I happened upon this site while following the links from another site. Keep up the excellent work.

Great site. Thanks - I'll be back soon - keep it up!

I enjoyed surfing your site - just thought I would let you know!!

Congrats to all involved with this web site. It really is excellent, professional, comprehensive and thorough and I forsee myself browsing the winter hours here in anticipation of my four week R1150GS inspired holiday. At the moment four weeks is my limit as business is such. But I must say that I am tempted to go for the big one {round the world} maybe next year. In the meantime, Thank you, David Burke

amazing!!delicious!!congratulations for your endless trip!!

Really enjoyed visiting your site, I have added it to my bookmarks.

I do appreciate the great work you've done. The site is easy to navigate and provides me valuable information, very impressive. Thanks a lot.

Hi there, just to say "hello". You built a great site - keep it up. kaufen verkaufenMany greetings

Interesting site. Will add it to our newsletter.. Anyone would be jealous of your adventures

My brother and I have just shipped our GL1800's to Spain to spend approximately 3 months touring Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. I should have found this site a long time ago. Thanks to an article on the March 2003 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News I was able to find you. Great and helpful site!!Need to find a repair shop or Honda dealer in Barcelona to fix a small problem on my bike when we arrive there on March 24. Any help? Thank you.

Nice page, I will come back :-)

Some of the Panniers I have seen published on this website are great - strong, weatherproof, lightweight and lockeable. I would still recommend that anyone starting out fresh goes with 'soft' pannniers which are cheaper and easier to make - you can even adjust small back-packs for this purpose and these are cheap to buy these days. The problem with the aluminium (or other) boxes is that when you fall off - even at low speeds - they can damage the bike - (and passenger). My suggestion also comes with its fair share of problems but you can sew, cut, velcro, stud and clip these where it suits you.

Thanks the photos are great. We took scouts from Australia to south america 3 years ago. Looking at your photos reminded me of the great time we had and what a beautiful place it is. We had 7 weeks over there saw chile argentina, bolivia, peru, brazil, patagonia and went up to Los Angeles. Would love to get back ther one day.

Hello! That what are You doing is wonderful. Riding on motorcycle is something special, different from other things. I hope one day I will travel allover the world on my motocycle, just like You. Greetings!

I just found you site, the information is great. In April of 2000 I had a chance to ride atv's in Kenya about 1200 miles camping along the way. After that I was hooked I would like to try motorcycle travel like the experences I have just read about. In august I will be going to India to ride atv's in the Himalayan mountians. I will be checking out you site to get information on travel in india (motor on jeff)

Hi Susan & Grant, Came across your site by accident... two of my past interests have been travel and motor bikes. Apart from touring France and Spain by bike in 1953 I have not combined the two very much since!! I Spent most of my working life in east Africa and Arabia before moving to Canada. Sold my last bike when I was 71 years. Really enjoy your site, full of interest keep up the good work. Rgds Alan

About a year ago I stumbled onto your site. I don't know what I was looking for anymore, but you probably wern't it as I owned a k100 at the time. At any rate, your site has quickly become my favorite. It is an enormous inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others around the world as well. You're doing a wonderful job, I just hope you still find time for your adventures. Wade

We as a riding family have been looking for a place to meet other serious riders in a more civilized setting. This place is great for the whole family! I ride an 1150GS, momma rides a F650-GSPD, daughter is on a Seca II, and son and daughter inlaw are on a 1150GS. See you on the road! The Galmukoff Family Clan

great site with lots of information. hopefully planning a trip to s america and the site certainly has plenty of tips. thanks

Hello Grant&Susan!! GRADULATIONS on a Great "PAGE". I have learned so much from reading the many articles. I can't stay away. As a newbie w/a new Goldwing I am looking forward to some long trips this summer. Maybe BC as we have been there before by car. Peggy and I did Baniff, Jasper and across the provence to Pr. George and Pr. Rupert then the ferry to Victoria. Great country!! She is not a biker so I will be coming alone. Did you get my contribution? Got to get back to more stories. So long until tomorrow!! Ron

Great site!

You have a very unique and interesting site, I enjoyed my visit. Greetings from Hans.

Wow, what a great website! My wife and I have toured quite a bit over the years and could have used this resource lots. I just put together a website of our recent trip to Spain (I included a couple of helmet camera videos) and am in the process of setting up a link to this site with hopes that you will link back to me. I plan to visit this site often, keep up the great work!

i am a co-worker of dan's in seattle wa. quite an interestingstory!

It never ceases to amaze me just how adventurous your contributors are, and what an interesting and informative this site is. If only I had the courage to drop everything and go. I rode across the US in May and June, and it was like heaven. Well there's probably Spain, Portugal and France next summer. Thank you both for brightening my week :-)

I live in Germany and like your website. Thanks for the goodinformation and entertainment. Keep up this great resource. Best greetings,Lars

Very good site. Most useful

I am enjoying your site a lot, and am only part way through it. I am also a long distance rider. Two trips to Baja, in 2000 I went down to Panama City and back, a 2 monther through Europe in '72, and innumerable trips around our beautiful Northwest. I broke dpwn and bought a Harley last year, to try one out and I quite like it, but my alltime favorite bike is a Kawasaki K.L.R. 650, simplicity, and reliability at it best. I am working on an extensive Europe, Scandanavia, North Africa trip next year, and want to do Australia and Kiwi in the future. My 24 yr. old daughter and I did a California, Grand Canyon trip in Sept. She just got her licence and a new KLR., and we had a ball. My wife doesn"t really like long distance riding, but does not hold me back. She will come to "safe Europe" though. I loved Central America absolutely. Anyway I will not bore you any more, and I will continue to work my way through your great site. If in the area you would be welcome in our house.

Hi, best greetings from Germany, near Berlin. I bookmark yoursite. Keep up this good work. Best regards, P. K. Victor

Hello, I found you at Altavista.You have wealth of information on your site and a nice design. Greetingsfrom Germany - Paul

Cool site.. American living inthe "ALPS" and loving every minute of it.. Looking at traveling to Romaniain the late spring.. Ride a BMW R1100RS.. Again very cool WEB PAGE andgreat info. Keep up the GREAT work!

Amazing site! I've done a lot of riding around North America and yourpage has inspired me to go further afield. Thinking about Panama nextyear, for a start. Currently ride a Honda ST1100 and a BMW K100/Championsidecar combo. I'm considering adding a dual sport to the fleet. Thanksagain for a great site.

It's the first time I am visiting this page. It was an honor to me that I met the team of Horizons Unlimited here in Quetta(ULTRA NET) .They are really nice people and have great zest in traveling. About this site, it is some thing great fun and ocean of information for the people who are interested in riding. Thanks &TC.
