Thanks, MountainMan!

It's going to be quite a challenge, that's for sure! And my first time in India too, so all very exciting.

Thanks for your interest and do spread the word if you can, sponsors very much needed!!

Jeanie

Hi guys,

Yeah, sadly the India trip was canned as UNICEF couldn't get the numbers for the team to make it financially viable.

Watch this space for new adventures in 2013 though...

Hey Jeanie - thought you'd only see me on twitter eh??? Cancelled - that is such a shame! Why not pop on over to the UK and join me on the dambusters2013 run then??? Mind you - I cannot say the weather or scenery would be a touch on your trip through India!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
