Vincent,

We'll just think of your trip as being 'temporarily' stopped - a rest and some income, and I'll bet you hit the road again.



All the best, and we're very pleased to have been a part of your journey.

Definitely see you in Paris one day!

Grant and Susan

don't forget to send us something for the ezine!

We never did meet up on the road but your name is so familiar from the website we feel like we know you. Sorry to hear that you are out of both motivation and money. Know exactly what you are talking about but after a while at home am sure they will both return and you will be back on the road again. . . one way or another.
Good luck, Cheryl and David.

Hi Vincent, like Cheryl and Dave I never met you on the road (though you left a note on my bike at the Saturday night market in Goa) but have followed your progress with interest.

I have no doubt your motivation will come back (mine has, having been back in London for only 3 months) and you'll be on the road again soon.

Look me up if you're in London,

Pete

Yes mate, that was my Twin.

Currently saving for Americas trip hoping to head off Apr/May 2006 (which seems a hell of a long way away!)

Maybe catch you there...

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.
