Hello from the Pacific Northwest of US

Hi My name is Paul. Ive been riding consistently for about 15 years now. Mainly dual sport DRZ 400 and also bigger bore adventure bikes. Got a Buell ullyses back in 2011 put 55k on motor now onto a Yamaha Super Tenere. Most of my riding has been in north America on west side of the US and BC and Alberta.Have had some adventures in southern thailand on a honda 250 Im planning a trip to Cabo San Lucas in may.

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.
