Smile Hi from Sydney
Hey everyone,
I've just registered here. It'll be great to meet like minded people.
I havn't been riding long. Only recently got my full licence.
I want to do a big trip around australia soon, which is why I've joined up here. To get ideas, travel mates, and tips.

Thanks!
Bonnie

I think the last couple of years there has been between 80 to 120 people attend from all over Australia. We travelled from Bris both times (to Tintaldra)and tacked on other sites to see over several weeks.

You will see all sorts of bikes (Vespa's, side cars etc) and setups, trip talks, secret women's business, trip planning advice, tyre changing demo's, a couple of accessory vendors, travel stories and much more.

Well worth the ride, I think Canoeguy is organising this years event!

Get along and enjoy yourself

Glen

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.
