HI from UK, South west!

Hi I'm Ash, 19, my current ride is a 2012 NC700X, previous bikes were a CBR600F and a CBR250R.

I drum up around 30,000 miles a year, mainly through pleasure, 5,000 thorugh commuting.

My next trip is up to Scotland on 29th September for a week and I'm heading off to Europe next year!

Hope to see you all on the road!

Ash

Hi Ash and welcome,

Good luck with the trip to Scotland it is beautiful up there, I hope the weather is knid to you. I can recommend the Michelin map 401, it has the scenic routes marked on it, Glencoe and the road around the north west coast are particularly worth a visit.

Mark

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
