Dick, what has the desire for relationships got to do with equality? And while yes I agree some women seem very much in need of a man, it goes the same that some men seem very much in need of a woman. One of the joys in life is that we are all different.
But Dick if your comment was related in some way to mine, you have no idea who, you or what you are speaking about. 
Sirius-star, I am on the road solo now, and yes I get lonely at times, mostly because I don't speak very good Spanish. My blog is at http://www.letterstocurlyflat.blogspot.com

What comment of yours? I honestly don´t know what you´re talking about!
Your other comments are so off track, IMO.  But that´s OK. 
¡ Hasta luego y buen viaje......!

I am in the process of planning a possible trip to America to do Route 66 on my own. My boyfriend has done a lot of world wide travel both solo and with pillion but I really want to ride myself. I've recently lost my mother and I had cared for her for many years and I think it is now my time.
I quite like the idea of me making my own decisions e.g. if my bum is starting to ache, I can stop for 10 minutes without worrying that I am holding other people up! Also, it I particularly like somewhere I can stay longer and vice versa get the hell out of there if I don't like it.
It's all pie in the sky at the moment, but hopefully I can actually make this happen.

I love travelling solo!
Any time I feel a slight twinge of wanting to share my life I only have to look at a couple arguing, (never hard to find,) how cruel they are to each other, how ugly they are while they're fighting and I realise how much better it is to travel alone.
If there is a problem I fix it, if I take a wrong turn I correct it (no shouting) and my timing is my choice.
The only trouble is climbing is limited cos of the techniqual requirement for someone at the other end of the rope.
and Dick the truth is "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle!"

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.
