classic bikes in Spain

I know it´s a short time to join but is enough because I think the ferry from Plymouth to Santander is working in spring. I took it once and was great to be in the stomach of the boat with houndreds of bikers roaring their engines. They were excited to ride dry roads and I was coming home after 3 months of fxxxx rain everyday in the green Hibernia, where the Dunlops were born to die on motorcycles. Tragics Islands and gentleman bikers who just nod the head.

M. C. PISTON

If you like classic bikes as I do, this is a good meeting to give them some funny. I will ride there the Ducati 900 SS 1976 I received from my father as a real family treasure. It´s blue and silver and sounds really angry. You will hear her.

Every year lots of british, french and irish pilots come there to enjoy good food, bends and incredible friendship among tough and wise men.

Thanks miquel for the link to MC PISTON. I'd love to attend, maybe next year...



Cantabria is a favourite area of mine, the best roads I've found anywhere.

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.
