I bought a copy of this a while ago. One of the last hardback colour copies from the RGS.
My interest is in motorcycles, and there wasn't a huge amount of info for me, apart from some good planning / general stuff.

If anyone wants my copy, make me an offer. It's a seminal text if you're a 4 wheeler.
If I get no decent offers I'll EBay it.

Kevin and Roland - it's between you guys. Why don't you sort something between yourselves, as I don't want to get into a bidding war!!

To be honest I don't want to be in the middle...

AFAIK, K has bid to 25 and Roland is on 26.

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.
