The TAT

Hi I am based in Cornwall and retiring next year and looking to attempt the TaT possibly next year. Looking for company for what I envisage will be a month long trip. Any other young (in mind only !!! ) retirees out there who would be interested in a trip of this nature please get in touch. I am thinking of buying a drz or similiar in the States rather than buying a bike here and transporting it over but open to ideas. I am an experianced road rider and also have some off road experiance. From what I have read it should be a fantastic trip and I'm sure some great experiances along the way . Stephen

Hello Stephen
I'm doing the TAT next year travelling west to east. I'm on a xt 600 travelling from the northeast, Sunderland across Russia first then fly to Canada, Vancouver to start the TAT, it may be to late for you next year and most people riding the TAT tend to do the it east to west, let me know if it's close to what you are planing.
Thank Graham

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.
