USA Continental Divide July 2016, and...

Kia ora from Aotearoa/NZ to all riders! ADVENTURE, SEX, MONEY, SUCCESS, WINNING, FREEDOM!! Now that I have ur attention...

I'm booked for LAX arrival late June 2016 to ride the Continental Divide (most of it anyhow) and make a massive loop CA-AZ-UT-(NM-CO-ID-WY-MN continental divide)-WA (rest 1wk)-OR-CA. I've ridden and traveled the states b4, also toured Europe last year and Himalayas this year both for 2months partially solo and partially with friends.

I'm ideally after a similar bike swap for here in NZ with my bike (i have the perfect DS in my BMW 650x challenge), or i'll buy/sell.

I'm also looking for ride buddies since I don't have a mate confirmed from here yet. Off road trail riding is better with a buddy or 3. If anyone is keen, please don't b shy. Also any info or offers are all greatly appreciated in advance, regardless how it ends up! Thx

BTW there's also a plan for a shorter Baja return trip to Cabo afterwards...hot in 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.
