Round the World - Northern Hemisphere only - starting in May 2013

There's three oldish codgers who are going to go around the World starting in May 2013.
To read more about the trip, and the 3 stooges, please visit www.joatmoa.com and click on the 'Round the World' link at the top.
All 3 of us will be on air-cooled, solo, bikes and we are all experienced long distance travellers.
If you are interested, and you have an air-cooled bike, contact me on my e-mail address which is on the website 'Contact Us' link. I'm Andy.
We won't carry "dead-wood". Anyone interested must be ready to help out with the logistics. We believe we have a novel way of getting from Magadan to Alaska but it's not quite finalised so we're not going to let on what it is yet.
I met some wonderful people on my trip last year to Mongolia and I hope to be able to visit some of them on the way round next year.
I live in Ivybridge, Devon, which will be the starting point but we will be doing a 'prologue trial' to Land's End, the day before we leave.

IMPORTANT...
You don't have to be experienced at long distance stuff, just be willing to do your share and we'll take you along with us.

Cheers for now.
Andy

Temporary glitch

Hello Andy

Give me a kick when you get back.

Does Bat Man wear John Pyjamas? I'd like to think so.

The 4th Team member

The 4th and final team member to our gang has been picked from the 4 candidates.

Ulf Muller has age on his side (a lot younger than the 3 old codgers) and a low mileage XT600. There will be more about him on our website shortly - Bikers Abroad - Fools venturing forth on motorbikes.

Thank you to those of you that applied and I wish you well for your own adventures.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
