Thanks all for any support Uni.


quote:Hi im James, Im hoping you could help me and a friend out a little!!!

We are trying to encourage people to follow our ten month round-the-world motorcycle adventure on our Facebook page "The Not So Local Lads".

If we manage to gain enough support, we will be setting off in August 2012 From Manchester The List of countries we will be riding through on our adventure:

Starting in Manchester UK then riding through, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Hungry, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, USA, Ireland and the "Isle of Man TT"

Time and weather permitting we may also pass through Canada and a small part of Africa!!

We are trying to make this go down in history. We would like to ask for your help to gain the largest possible following this type of event has ever seen.

This is something that can be achieved with your help – if you could spread the word of our event to your friends and encourage them to add themselves to our facebook page and follow our blog or maybe they would even like to ride with us for a short time. We would like as many bikers as possible to follow us throughout our ride, and hopefully give us a chance to meet up with a few fellow biker's, groups and clubs along the way.

We are not asking for any money or anything of the sort, just your time and a little encouragement for what we are about to do, We need your help to make up the numbers and to make this event the one that everyone talks about for years to come.

We thank you so very much for your help and time, we hope to see you on the road when we are riding through, your fellow biker James "The Not So Local Lads".

Just a quick update for anyone that has not been to our fb page.....

We decided that we would bring a charity onboard so we had a look around.....after some pretty tough choices and much discussion we decided that we would dedicate our trip to a charity called CLIC Sargent.........It's a charity for children with cancer and believe me its not just a worthy cause........ its bloody heart breaking.......

Think about it...what if your child needed help and the people you turned to didnt have enough to help.......how would that make you feel?? We asked ourselves the same question and now here we are trying to make a difference.

Our conclusion was if we can't help the ones that really need it......then we are not half the person we believe ourselves to be.


Thanks for your support guys.

Yep Vietnam won't be possible as you can't bring bikes into the country.

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.
