OOoooPs sorry! I'm actually far from being sexist - rather the opposite. And that was meant to be in praise of women who are fully capable of shelf building and grasscutting etc. In fact it's good to see them with overalls and riggers belt on, looking great. I dont want to be in any trouble with Mrs Gt so why dont you look me up in Hi-Hi-Hi Heidelberg and I'll give you and Mrs GT a good German gottle of geer. She will also find out that I am not an evil monster but non threatening and peaceful.

I wont arrive till Saturday. I may not look my absolute best as I will be sleeping in a hedge somewhere on Friday night. Alas.

She sure knows how to hurt a guy!

And I was afraid the GT meant Gin and Tonic, which would have proved heavily expensive, bringing a tear to my eye...

(She seems very headstrong and hard to handle....(sssh)

Hi Jens

Good luck with your first HU meeting. Sorry we can't make it (working for a living is not all it's cracked up to be). We hope everything goes as planned and if it doesn't, you'll all have a great time anyway.

Come and see us again soon.

Alison & Andy

channel crossing Friday 23

the GTs have booked a crossing tomorrow (friday) around 8.00 on the tunnel tube

anyone crossing the same time?

we could possibly hook up and ride along.. not sure which route is best.. so we may end up wondering around the motorways for a while

--

if you see a lost red Multistrada followed by a printer on wheels (a BM HP 2) - offer directions freely.

see you all soon

Hi Ghost,

we will start off by calling you Herr, then abuse you, then finish our heckling with "bitte".

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
