Hi Ozhanu,
I posted my first message a couple of hours ago and received no feedback.
Maybe I am being impatient.

We leave England on 4-6-09 and travel for 16 days through Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, cross to Italy, Andorra, Spain, Portugal, France then home.

Please have a look at motorcycle adventure - Welcome for more information.

Thanks
Paul

You are being impatient. Give it time, and don't assume you're being snubbed if you get no answers. No one owes a response to anyone else here. "A couple of hours" is a bit hair-trigger.

Another possible approach: Since you're looking for some sort of sponsership (approximately), an absence of response *might* indicate a need to work on your delivery. Work on it, until it's demonstrably irresistible. Consider the opportunity to hone your postings for maximum impact a valuable gift from participants here.

Safe journeys!

Mark

Impatient? 14 countries in 14 days and 600 km a day, I would say yes.

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.
