Smile Hi from Switzerland

Hello everyone

My name ist steven and i am from bern. I like to travel with my motorbike very much. For short trips 2-3 days i use hotels but for longer trips i prefer also the tent. Next year i plan to go to turkey. But i really want to go sometimes for a long time out in the world.

This is a very nice forum with very nice people!

Thank you very much!

Steven

Hi Steven from Bern and to the madness. You certainly live in a nice "motorcycle country". Switzerland has plenty to offer in terms of riding.

What kind of bike to you ride? Post some pics.

Excellent choice ! Don't get discouraged by some of the anti-BMW folks around here. It's all friendly, innocent banter .

It's hard to walk along the pavements and see bikers go by, as though "my identity" roared away with them, that's what is going to happen when I get bikeless to Swizerland in a few weeks, knowing that there might be so much to discover out there and realising a bus is not going to help too much.

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.
