Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that Jessica ( who was at the meet), who had an accident at the EDF barrage just outside St Amans on Sunday, is out of Hospital and doing fine. She had a fracture in her leg and some knee injury. She will be resting in France until the plaster cast comes off, and will then be continuing on to South Africa with her husband Jesse.

I'm sure we all wish her a speedy recovery.

Hi Pongo,


Bad news on the accident but good news she is relatively ok and on the mend. If it's where I think it is, it's quite the scenic spot with a couple of bad bends though.


Wishing her a speedy recovery from us both.


Cheers
Potski & Mrs P

Sounds like it was another great event.

The weather certainly looked better than it was last year..!

Nik and I were so disappointed we couldn't make it, but as it looks like a regular event now I'm sure we'll be back a some point.

Worth it for the cheese alone...

All the best,

Gus & Nik.

P.S. Hi to Bernt, glad you got the GS back on the road quickly, enjoy your trip.

Hello Gemma
Well , except a miracle , i don't think i'll be there (money problems) and on top of that our car broke down last weekend . Anyway there will be better times for sure (i have much less problems on the road and it's where i want to be).
Don't forget, Brigitte and i will be more than happy to see you both someday in Dieppe ; see you soon and carry on to be in touch.

Roger

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.
