BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

#StayHome Offer - Free Travel eBooks

Having a deep understanding of the whole new situation, being a full time overlander for 7 years and being in a home isolation for about 2 weeks (which is not that bad though), I am extremely happy to offer my eBooks for free for all of those who stay home, or stuck somewhere.

69 FAQ before Going Overland was always free.

Traveliving eBook initial price was 9 EUR but who cares..

Go download them here: https://www.thepinproject.eu/shop/. Just add them in your cart, Proceed to Checkout and get a downloadable link. Email is required but you can always fake it.

Keep strong, stay safe and stay at home (if possible).

Take care guys ;-)

Love from Greece

Let me add one to the list then. Maybe other writers will too.

The Street Riding Years.
Despatching in 80s London


Nothing to do with travel, what so ever, but a lot of classic bikes and some bad behaviour.

Read the reviews on amazon or just download a raw pdf for free and make the most of your lock-in ;-)

eBooks

Thanks for the offer. Something to look over since our planned overland trip in June 2020 is looking like it will be delayed. Everything was set and booked. Truck is sitting at a friends in SA but it may have to be 2021 ☹️ At least we have options. Stay healthy everyone!

Thanks Chris

Just read your dispatching years in a couple of sittings - thanks Chris, a great read.
My youth was similar to yours in some ways. I worked on building sites in and around London during the 80s and was often tempted by the adverts for bike couriers in the back of MCM but never tried it.
I had a plan to ride to Oz but, for a few reasons, didn’t and flew instead. I did buy an XT 500 over there which was fun for a while till it was stolen.
Anyway the book captured the feeling of 80s London really well I thought.
Cheers
FF

Thank you very much, it is nice to have something interesting to read while waiting for better times.

An entertaining read, Chris: dense with British slang and an amazing selection of metaphors, similes and analogies, not to mention culturally-appropriate understatement. Cheers!

Thanks for these! Something to keep me occupied in idle times... and plan for things to look forward to in the distant future.

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.
