Running a website the size of Horizons Unlimited is a huge job. It's been my full-time job for 10 years now, so it also has to make me a living!

We do not list anyone here unless we feel that they are worth our recommendation, and have demonstrated quality products and services.
We also have a number of very generous sponsors, affiliates and advertisers who have supported us for a long time, and we'd like to thank them too. We hope they are getting good value for their advertising dollars, and we hope you'll support them and let them know why - because you like Horizons Unlimited and what we are doing!

The top flight German motorcycle Travel magazine: "The whole World of Motorcycle Touring in one magazine, for over twenty years - Die ganze Welt des Tourenfahrens in einem Magazin."
We can highly recommend the magazine as a great source of German language motorcycle travel information. I also wrote a column for them on travelling for three years. (Yes they translated it to German for me :)
Jim Hyde runs Rawhyde Adventures, a unique "Adventure Riding School" based in California, USA. Jim's goal is to help the new adventure rider get the most out of their bike, teaching them how to be comfortable and safe riding off-road. Jim teaches a short course at our Copper Canyon, Mexico Travellers Meeting, and received rave reviews. He will be at Copper Canyon again in 2006, leading a group of riders from California to the Meeting via Baja. Contact Jim here if you're interested in riding to the meeting with him, or in taking one of his courses. And if you mention Horizons Unlimited, you get a US$100 discount on his full 3 day course and a special (for HU'ers only) t-shirt as a bonus.
