Strongly recommend you DO NOT put your email address in a post!

Unless of course you really like spam. Spambots cruise the web looking for email addresses - and you're giving them a gift.

Remove it and people can still contact you by simply clicking your name (of course you can need to enable email in your user control panel) but no one gets your email address until you reply - the system sends the message to you, not them, so they do not have your email address. We try hard to make sure you are as secure as we possibly can!

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.
