Ian's in Panama

I have recieved an e-mail that Ian has made it to Panama. As you know of him, it may be 12-18 months before he gets back to the USA. He plans to tour all of Central America while on his "little bike ride". If I learn more, I will post here. Also, Judith is back home after touring with Ian.

Ian is in Canda

Hi all

Ian stayed with us on our farm in east central Alberta,Canada for 10 days in early July 2009 and we enjoyed him immensely. He is now riding up thru BC enroute to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. He needs to be out of there by late Aug as the weather can then become a problem. Ian was very fit and rested and eager to continue on his journey to Alaska with plans to ride back down through BC and into the US to winter then to continue his quest next spring to ride across Siberia. Ian was introduced to us by HU members Pat and Belinda Peck. Pat was an old uni friend who I had lost touch with 33 years ago.

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.
