leaving Friday the 13th

It is getting close, I'm leaving coming Friday for my first trip on a bike. Two months from Holland to Israel and back.
The HUBB has been a great help in planning and I want to thank everybody who took the trouble answering my questions. I of-course will report whenever I can anything that's of interest here on the HUBB.

And if you wonder if leaving Friday the 13th is wise, I'm not superstitious because it brings bad luck.

see you,
Rinus

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.
