An up date

Just so everyone is up with it, Ill repeat a few things. All Nationalities, All types of Bikes and All Genders are welcome to take part in the PAMS MC RIDE (Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and return). You can start and leave as fits Your time schedule. If You or Your friends are unable to do the ride, please join up as a VIRTUAL RIDER, A Virtual Rider is eligible to WIN the New Royal Enfield 350 Classic (NEW, not the one Ill be riding). I will have a spot tracker on My Royal Enfield 350 Classic so You can see exactly where I am through out the ride. I will also have My wife posting up regular updates with photos of whats going on during the ride. From now Ill post up some photos of what You'll be able to see on the ride. Please contact Me at pamsmcride@gmail.com. All the best Beetle

Hi Paul, Be leaving Perth 26th of December 2017. The ride will take some 30 days if You do all sections. You can do as many or as little as You are able. You do not have to be on a Royal Enfield, but that sounds rather cool. Its going to be the best fun while promoting Winifred Wells and raising money for Guide Dogs. Check out the FACEBOOK, ADV rider (inmates section) or email direct to pamsmcride@gmail.com all the best and thanks Beetle.

Well the WEBB SITE www.pamsmcride.com.au" is up and running. Please give me the heads up if You see something that You don't understand or needs changing/fixing/advising on. I have been busy promoting PAMS MC RIDE where ever I can and some. I have great hopes for this Ride and want it to be the success it deserves, it can not be that success with out all of You doing some work. Please promote it as much as possible, even sign up for the ride and start raising funds. This is for charity and Im able to get taxable recites for You on money raised over aus$2. Please visit and get Your friends, family and work mates to visit the Webb site and donate in some way, a NEW motorcycle is the prize for the most money raised over aus$1,000 once You've signed up. Its up to You. Judy, Trish and I have got it off the ground We now need You to push it along. All the best and thanks Beetle

Picked up Greg(promotions/advertising man) in Albury( Greg came down special from Sydney way) and with Trish drove to the 300klm to Melbourne to meet up with Judy (project manager) at RACEWAY motorcycles and had a very fruitful meeting with Jason Purser. We had general discussions on how We could assist each other in promoting "pams mc ride". Had a photo shot of the 350 Royal Enfield while Jason went over a few details. Looking very positive and We all thank Jason for his time and future input. Then out to lunch to have an informal meeting of the PAMS group, then back to home. A big day and great day. All the best Beetle

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.
