About Horizons Unlimited
Do you have an idea that you would like to tour your country - or even the world - from the seat of a motorcycle.
Not sure where to begin, what sort of bike do I need, what gear to take, how to ship the bike?
For the answers to all questions related to overland travel, http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ is a great place to start. Grant and Susan Johnson host the website, they travelled the world on their BMW R80 G/S for 11 years and have a handle on just about everything there is to know about motorcycle travel. The website is a great resource, full of information submitted by fellow travellers. To really kick the bug into high gear, their DVD series 'The Achievable Dream" is great to watch. It's also a grand idea to attend one of the HU events, you can watch presentations from experienced travellers, meet dozens of like-minded souls and check out what other riders have done to make their bike a touring beast.
Here's a shout-out to the website, although it should come with a warning.
View at own risk - you might actually find yourself doing it!
 Go to Horizons Unlimited, the website that's all about motorcycle travel. Travellers Community, Bike Travel information on the Bulletin Board, free Monthly Motorcycle Travel E-zine, Travellers' Stories, and plenty of tips and info! |
