Dallas, TX Mini-Meeting, Sunday, Feb 1 '09

Ok, we've finally got a gameplan on getting together to have a mini-meeting in the Dallas area. It will be a short (afternoon) session to share information. The details are on the link below. I would appreciate a RSVP just so I can make adjustments if necessary. However, everyone is welcome so it's not totally necessary. Just come as you are. If it is too cold, then drive the truck.

Excellent, we'll put you down for one. If Pansy wants to come, she can hang out with Joy (Joy won't stay for the show).

The Meeting

We had a good meeting and I would like to thank everyone who attended. The smaller meetings can be very nice. Here's a couple of pics:

Wish I hadn't missed the meeting!

I'm really just interested to meet others in the area who are doing the same kind of travel that I'm doing and want to continue.

I have met one other person from Houston who went on the same kinda trip I did (also from Tx to Ushuaia), but it'd be nice to meet others... just to get some ideas of what to do next =]

Hello

Hello, sorry you missed our get-together, but maybe we can meet under other circumstances. I've enjoyed reading some of your info. I'm not planning on being in Houston anytime soon, but I am planning on meeting a friend in Kingsville in a few weeks. It will be on a Saturday around lunch time. He also went to the bottom of SA and back up. I want to talk to him about his travels north of Buenas Aires through the Amazon to Venzeuela. His site is chuckweaverrides.com. Maybe you could meet us over that direction too?

I know Chuck. I met him in Ushuaia. He invited me fishing!

Send me an email or PM once you nail down a date.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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

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.
