Hi John.

Just reading your post and was wondering if you ever did your trip on a 125 and if so, where can I read about it?

Take care,
Sam

Just goes to show there's a few of us about - codgers doing long(ish) trips on small bikes that is. I tried to get down to West Africa on my antique 125 last January but after a problem with the bike (no power- even for a 125) and a problem with the weather called it off part way through.

This was the bike on the way back -



This was the weather that put me off -








Unlike John I've put my faith in the power of the printed word to record these things and have written a book about my previous trips on the 125 -



All very old-skool, tapping away with my quilt pen on the typewriter, but it does give you a chance to work out what you actually thought when you have to write it down. Very cathartic until someone you wrote about actually reads what you said

B120P? That was the sporty version of the BLOOP wasn't it? Haven't seen one of those for decades!

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.
