Hi Guys,

We have been traveling around Corsica in 2007 and did make some small movies to get a impression. You can see them on Life Is Joy - Home

been there last summer with my Honda CX500, tent and girlfriend.

the northern part of the isle is beautiful, rocky and solitaire.
the southern is turistic, sandy and full of attractions.

it's good manner to ALWAYS LOCK the motorbike especially if you are in touristic city, corsica is famous for bike steals.

go north if you love adventure, clean and deep sea and wild life.

and if you are a bit crazy, try the road to the Desert of Agriates to Saleccia.
i did it with my old CX and we were THE ONLY people on that beach with a motorbike.

always watch out for the road because it's REALLY SMALL, you can see burnt cars fallen from the high mountain roads to the valley, so don't go too fast!

ps: gas stations after 19pm only accept CREDIT CARDS, so no cash or debit cards!
we had to wait for a guy with credit card to exchange my 10€ note at 01am!

on sardinia-ferries website you can book a round trip from livorno starting just at 40€/each if you are in 2 plus motorbike.

last summer we paid 84€ for the whole travel (round trip livorno-bastia 2 persons+motorbike from 30 july-13 august).

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.
