2 wheels 1 road but who needs the road?
The road is my country
The bike my home
This world is mine
And mine alone
A puncture in paradise is still just a puncture!
Ride safe,
Ol

Philosophers quotes
I think I'll let the philosophers do the talking:
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. Soren Kierkegaard
The greatest danger is not to take the risk. Soren Kierkegaard
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself. Soren Kierkegaard
Attention to health is the greatest hindrance to life
Plato

Mine are:
"Fragile Planet" - see it while you can!
See this Earth, you wont see another
or
See this planet, you wont see another
"planet" is a VERY over-used word these days...

hi my two cents
Hi, just got back from a 2700km ride to the pyrennees, and plenty of inspiration.
If it leads into the distance, ride it.
Going there and back to see how far it is.
All I need is sunshine and roads.
What's in front is the present, what's behind is the past, what's ahead is the future.
She has definitely been faithful.
It's a privelege to adventure.
It's beautiful from up here.....

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
