From where I sit, you seem to be asking a lot--free bike, contacts, lodging, publicity--but offering....what? Nothing in particular. Maybe work on your approach a bit .

Just a thought.

I'd try a search for "sponsorship" on here, people have written stuff before about it.

Not being a cynic, I'll say go for it, but here's a couple of thoughts.

I found your Blogspot page (Google's great isn't it?). How to put this politely? Spelling's not your strongest point. It might be an idea to get someone to check it over before you post there. I know, I know, who wants a spelling and grammar nazi on their case? The thing is, it does still matter to plenty of people, and some of them will get put off (checks for spelling errors in the above). Enthusiasm's great, professionalism's better.

Oh and your Twitter page, you've got the wrong Boorman, although oddly the Boorman you've got is following the real Boorman, strange that.

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.
