Helloooo world

Hi there!

Well, I think I was reg. here before but I so can't find out with which nickname or which e-mail....
However..

I'm Conny, a girl, 23 years old and live in Vienna, Austria (Europe)

Uhm..
I once had a Honda Hornet 600 which got killed by some as*ho*es...
Now I have a Suzuki SV 650S...

I know I know... not the typical bikes for doing what this site is about but...



See u guys around

hows it going! I'm new here myself, I think as long as you are interested in adventure riding you don't need a bike to be here! I have a CT110 & an RM250 hardly the sort of bikes you'd tour on either but I plan to buy a KLR650 when I begin my travels so whats the fuss eh!

Whats Vienna like for riding?

Yeah for sure the bike you ride is pretty unimportant here. I ride a FireBlade and I've been made more than welcome here from day one. Now get busy asking questions and planning trips with the rest of us. Think your going to like this site!

Hi Conny,

Nothing wrong with a SV 650S. People travel on all kind of bikes so why not a SV 650S. You can be proud to have a nice bike like that.

This site is not about the bike you ride and you don't have to travel around the world three times to be here. It is your state of mind that counts. Loving to travel and being open minded to other people and cultures.

Welcome to the HUBB.

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.
