IF U RIDE FOR THE RUSH DONT RUSH FOR THE RIDE

Never ride fster than your guardian angel can fly

"It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end."
>>Ursula K. LeGuin

" I rather push my Harley, then ride a {insert any other brand here :-) }".
Harley fans

There are two types of people in this world, people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could ride motorcycles.

Four wheels good, two wheels better!

You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.


Middle age starts when you have been warned to slow down, not by a motorcycle cop, but by your doctor.



What do you call a cyclist who doesn't wear a helmet? An organ donor. ~David Perry

Life is too short for traffic. ~Dan Bellack


Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead. ~Mac McCleary



Remember folks, street lights timed for 35 mph are also timed for 70 mph. ~Jim Samuels



I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol. ~Author Unknown



Safety is a cheap and effective insurance policy. ~Author Unknown


Accidents hurt - safety doesn't. ~Author Unknown


That's all the motorcycle is, a system of concepts worked out in steel. ~Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

You're the guy that'll be sneaking out of your bedroom at three o'clock in the morning to look at your bike. ~Paul Teutul, Sr., American Chopper, "Billy Joel"



A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself. ~Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance


Burn rubber, not your soul, baby. ~Craig Fernandez and Reggie Bythewood, Biker Boyz

Home is where your bike sits still long enough to leave a few drops of oil on the ground.

Never ask a biker for directions if you're in a hurry to get there.

Hunger can make even roadkill taste good.



You'll know she loves you if she offers to let you ride her bike. Don't do it and she'll love you even more.


If you want to complain about the pace being set by the road captain, you better be prepared to lead the group yourself.

It takes both pistons and cylinders to make a bike run. One is not more important than the other.

If the countryside seems boring, stop, get off your bike, and go sit in the ditch long enough to appreciate what was here before the asphalt came.

Middle age starts when you have been warned to slow down, not by a motorcycle cop, but by your doctor.

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.
