The bikers are here, from the mad dogs, eastbayrats san francisco motorcycle clubs to hells angels, all the riff raff is now partying all together, and the dirtbags are having a blast

the police is keeping an eye on the party from the sky, and a couple of SFPD cars do a drive by through the lines of motorcycles

Having all this down time waiting for the tire is great because i get to see all my friends, attend the world famous san francisco motorcycle club new president election by its club members

SFMC is the oldest mc, the harley was out by 1903 and by 1904 SFMC was created, go check it out if you can, the club house and welcoming atmosphere and members are amazing

The riding in Northern california is amazing and I miss it a lot, time to ride down memory lane, grizzly peak road, redwood road and all the eastbay hills.

If you ever get a chance, def do a fly and ride if you can to SFO , pick up a moto at eagle rider and go ride around for 24hrs you cant beat this, PCH, redwoods, twisty roads, and good pavement!





Time to fix the headlight again, head off to cycle gear, kid is super friendly but gives me the wrong part, my fault for not checking, i ride back to cycle gear with out the front end on the KLR


Reno needs a drink after all this wrenching bullshit, Reno finds Reno's liquor lmao

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.
