As far as what bike to take and road conditions and the need for knobblies that is what you say you want facts about and area and motorbike travel.
Your load times and connection speed is client side (you) If your in an internet cafe you may want to try downloading and running a tuneup utility on there machine there are going to be loggers and data miners on the drive eating away at the internet speed. (save it to flash drive that ways its safe and easy to use) They may not like you to do it, the longer your on the more $ they make off you. You can get a laptop and use free WiFi. not cheap I know.
And a this may hurt but you dont need a web page to tell you about "pure motorbike travel talk" your doing it
You may have it bad But Im going back to work tomorrow I will be told Im too slow and stupid working on parts for 10 to 12Hr. And the next day I will do it agen. A thankless boring job 40 to 60 a week for rich asshats saving all I can so one day I can do what your doing right now. Its not so bad I get 4 weeks off. Some are even payed! (I have a job so im happy).

Well said Fella! I would love a job like yours, unfortunately I am Unemployed & probably now Unemployable! ( I am 'too old' at 44 and with health issues.)
Many people have it too easy, without seeing the real 'underlying reason' some of us spend a lot of time on the net. it is Escapism. Travel for the MIND. Voyeuristic it may be, but if we can't afford to travel, and have the addiction, we have to get our fix somehow!
I spend my time between here and ADVrider, if it wasn't for the Travel reports and some of the fantastic Blogs on HUBB and ADVrider I think I would have shriveled up inside long ago.

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.
