The Moroccan Adventure in the Disco

Hello ladies and gents. Please take a look at my blog. The latest updates are from our short trip from the UK to Morocco. There is a few choice words and poor grammar in the blog..... So read at your peril. Failing that. theres a few video's and loads of pics.

Let me know your thoughts. Its been hard to get back into the swing of work!!!
I need a new trip!!!!

I think I saw you as we passed out of a town ( I know very vague) and you were parked up on the RH side. Quite close to opposite one of the Chris Scott trails.

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.
