February 24-27, 2011 - Dual Sport Desert Daze (AZ)

Okay - I'm just gonna throw this out there - you can come if you want.....

Street bikes are ALWAYS welcome - it's definitely a fun time and there's plenty of both paved and unpaved roads to explore!



Dual Sport Desert Daze!

2011
February 24-27
Southern, AZ

Weather is usually pleasant with lows in the 30's and highs in the 60's.

Lots and lots of dirt with varying degrees of difficulty. Some of it, you'll definitely want some skills. Some of it, you can do on a street bike. So, run what you brung and there'll be somewhere for you to go!

If you can make it, great.

If you can't, plan something where you are and go riding that weekend!

Stay posted for more info as it develops.....
:clap

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.
