Talking Need some bike trip ideas to Celebrate 50th!
Hi guys & Gals

My bother in Law & I will be 50 in 2008 & we want to celebrate with a bike trip. We both ride cruisers & have been round the Baltics & the Med & various other bike trips together.

One idea is to go to the top of Norway then Sweden, Finland, Russia etc. I would like to match it with 50 something, towns, days etc & we want to raise money for the http://www.nabd.org.uk.

As we both ride road bikes we can't really go off road, so any imput from other bikers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Martyn

It will probably be between June, July & August 2008. & it would be nice to do St Petersburg & Moscow but we are both on Cruisers, 1 Triumph Rocket & 1 BMW cruiser so I don't think we will be doing too many off road trails unless we get lost. lol

How about doing something a little different and coming over and checking out our Maidstone.

Thanks for that, let me know the details of your tours when you are up and running as I have a few friends who would be interested in them.

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.
