2014 July: Pyrenees, Romania, Scotland, Pyrenees?

Hello champions! (More on champions at the end of this message)

Well, I am reaching out for the big world here, to share a dream and keep meeting nice people everywhere. Basically, my youngest brother and his companion in Spain won't be able to join me this July 2014, on an European tour. Geographically speaking, I am aiming higher than ever for me. Also, some sofas here and there have been secured thanks to lovely priceless friends in the countries I plan to ride through.

The idea then, is to ride not later than at the beginning of July from the Pyrenees to:

Switzerland,
Hungary,
Romania,
Bulgaria,
Germany,
and Scotland,

before returning home by the end of July.
Hopefully I will be able to rely on a 1992 Kawasaki KLE 500 that still works.

I am currently working in Asia, and will arrive to Northern Spain towards the end of June. As I said, to meet anybody nice along the way would mean so much for this humble rider. I will keep reading through forums in order to find possibilities for sharing the horizon. Keep riding safe everyone.

PS: If our riding makes the world a better place, somehow, for anyone even if it is just ourself, then I would say we deserve to title of champions! I believe that motorcycle riding can save us from ourselves.

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.
