Hi there from Australia

Hi you'll thought I should drop in & say hi, get the introductions underway. I'm An Aussie & I love me bikes. Had a Vstrom 1000 a couple of years back & sold it get a GSXR. What a mistake that was. Anyway, I clock up a few K's on me Speed Triple & have ridden a fair bit up & down eastern seaboard of Australia. Am hoping to have the little XT 600 I have running & on the road in a couple of weeks. It'll be my get away bush bike. Hopefully I can upgrade if needs be in the future but am going for a big trip around Europe next year & as you can imagine the cash flow is a bit skinny. Anyhow that's all from me.

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.

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.
