Benvenuto Stefano.
Your English is fine and much better than my Italiano. It's nice to see someone putting plenty of K's on their KTM. Post some pics of the beast.
Enjoy the HUBB.

Thumbs up

Ciao, compagno
Il mio inglese non è inoltre in uno stato di arte, e tanto meno conoscere la lla lla l�*nigua italiano.
Ma poi usare il traduttore di Google, per ogni evenienza.
E come spesso si dice in spagnolo: Suerte!

Hello Stefano and welcome to the fold . Truly impressive km's on your 950 Adventure. What year is your KTM?

Do you have a blog or ride report of your Africa trip posted somewhere?

Pull up a chair and make yourself feel at home.

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.
