hello again... and a time to plan an Adventure...

I signed up to HUBB about 7 or so years ago, posted a few times... then drifted off in a different direction... I had just got my first ADV, a Buell, and was doing some tricks to it... I rode ADV's for a few years, and then bought my first Electraglide... and then another one... so did the Harley thing... and then the 'Rona set in, and my motorcycling got significantly curtailed, as it did to lots of folks...

But... I can start to see an end to this, and I need a plan... my first plan was to loop the US and Canada in 2023, but that is a lot of "Been there, done that" stuff... so... I have come up with a new plan as you can see in the Map... I am going to be 70 quite soon, so if I am going to set off on such an adventure, I best get at it...

Not sure what I will do for a motorcycle yet, I am heavily leaning on taking my Electraglide, as we already have 70,000+ kilometres of travelling together and she fits me like a glove... but I am also considering getting the new PanAm and going back towards ADV's... the problem is i need a Rekluse clutch, which I have in my eGlide, or a Dual Clutch set up as I have bad arms, and I want to take a Harley...

I will use this thread to do the planning, as I have the next 12 months to make it real so I can be ready to leave in the spring of 2023... the basic idea is to spend 4 or 5 months travelling from one end to the other... 6 to 10 weeks in the West... and the same sort of idea East of Germany/Austria... no real plans at this point to go up into England or the Nordic countries, but that will depend on how quickly I make my way through Western Europe...

There is a link in the signature that will take you through the last 6 or so years of my Journey...

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.
