I'll be in Morocco around the 7'th or 9'th of November, heading for Capetown down the westcoast. If you are leaving soon, I may not catch up with you, since I plan on going at a very leasurely pace.

I know Orrin is doing that same "route" around this time. He'll be starting from England too but will be starting off with a ferry to Portugal if I remember correctly.

but give me a hollar if you think we'll be in the same area around this time. We can chug a or two. Mail to torsten@intoafrica.dk or send a PM.

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.
