. <- that is a full stop. It goes at the end of sentances
Its going to be infinitely easier and less risky to meet a nice girl on the route than it will to try and find one before you go. Remember its the journey, not the destination.

Dave, I am new to this site and your query seems legitimate. As a Montana born long-time resident of So.Cal/Los Angeles, I agree it might be possible that many or most 30ish So. Calif. girls won't come out of the salon long enough to experience the thrill of motorcycle riding, but keep looking, there are many of us adventurous women out here!

If I was 20 years younger I would be suitable! Female, ridden motorcycles for 39 years. BUT I have found my motorcycling partner (whilst going round the world). We are now heading down Africa next..me on my bike and he on his. There are plenty of motorcycling females out there you have just got to appeal to them,,,

You should use a full stop after brackets. And it's sentences, not sentances. People in glass houses....!

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
