Sydney

Many years ago I staye d at the CB Hotel in downtown Sydney. Even I would like to know if this hotel still exists. It was a nice older hotel and was ideal for travellers on a budget like us motorcyclists and backpackers. An excellent place to spend a week as you come in jet-lagged and need to adjust. The tourist assist service at the airport pointed it out to me.Good value. This was in 1983 and I bought a bike at Goulburn
Motorcycles, a Yamaha dealership in the city.Would love to do it again.

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.
