There was a fledgling rock group back in the late sixties who were looking for a name , somebody [ and it might have been Clapton] told them that they sounded like shit and would go down like a lead zeppelin .The name stuck- despite the spelling mistake .

Whatever happened to them ?

I think they reformed for a few gigs a couple of years ago. One or two of the band take a big interest in "Le Festival au Sahara", which happens near Timbouktou each Jan/ Feb.

This would be a great bike destination.

Talking Well here it is!

Well after not a lot of thought and a tight schedule I think I,m going to call it "SUPERMOTOS"
because I like MOTOS and I think they are SUPER.
And I also own two SUPERMOTOS Husky 610sm and a Husaberg fe501.
If you,ve got a better idea you,d best be quick.

Red face Bugger

Plans are on hold for the time being,the locals zone inspectors won,t give permission to use the property as a bar.Other locations are being looked at,this bar will happen.If you,d ever been to Medellin you,d understand why!

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.
