Sad news
I met Mike in Mexico. He wanted to stay in the city for an extended period of time. I offered my place but he didn't want to be a burden.
I found him a hotel downtown .
We had breakfast together and I throughly enjoyed his stories of travels to exotic places.
R.I.P.

Very sad to hear, Mike was always a positive guy, and up for a challenge. I first met him at an HU Meeting in Mexico, where we went on a ride that ended up MUCH more challenging than expected - but he soldiered on and made it through. He'll be missed.

We have met Maja Mike here in BA few times and attended together an HU Meeting in Viedma. A great traveller and a good drinker. Sad news… He will be missed down south too… RIP

Sorry to hear this sad news. We had the pleasure of being in Mike's company on several occasions. We camped next to him at our very first Horizons (Ripley) meeting and were encouraged by his stories and adventures.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

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.
