1/4: Elsebie has our vote for the Smile of the Weekend! 😊 "Nothing compares to the pure, unadulterated, and priceless happiness of a day spent riding a motorcycle on old, dusty dirt roads. The smell of dirt and petrol is like a wild party for your senses..." 📸: @pikipiki_overland ⬇️

Day 7 of 7: Welcome to 2025! 📸: DANIEL RINTZ How nice that a friend doubles as a jack. Great adventure buddies have your back! That's one less piece of equipment to pack. We hope Daniel gave Josephine Flohr some snacks because that's quite the ingenious bike-fixing hack. 😂 #HorizonsUnlimited

Day 5 of 7: 📸: MICK WHEELER "Thank heavens for Hepco and Becker panniers!" (MONGOLIA) #HorizonsUnlimited #AdventureTravel

Day 4 of 7: Rest is a part of adventure, even for our bikes - you gotta pick that puppy up to keep the adventure going. That's life, eh? Andy's bike. It looks so peaceful when it sleeps. 😉 📸: ANDY MILLER (1 of 13 winners of the 2006 HU photo contest) Jökulsárlón, ICELAND #HorizonsUnlimited

Day 3 of 7: A narcoleptic motorcycle in Ecuador, apparently. And someone seems impatient to keep the adventure rolling. 😂 📸: ANGELA PERRY (1 of 13 winners of the 2013 HU photo contest) #HorizonsUnlimited #AdventureTravel
