Need a friend (with tools) in Southern UK

G'day all,

I'm dummying up a whole array of soft bags and top box etc on my dominator here in Sydney, then packing all my bike stuff in a suitcase to assemble on my newly squired Transalp 600 in Oxford, at end of march for a 2 month punt around Kazakhstan and Russia.

If anyone would mind lending a hand or at least a work space for perhaps a couple of hours you would be saving me considerable hassle and probably £££.

Of course some form of liquid compensation would be in order.

Kind regards
Tom

Hi Tom

Why not contact the Oxford Community directly, they've signed up to help.

In South East London with a few spanners and a garage if that helps? The Wollongong brothers need to look after each other!

Cheers

Will

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.
