TravellingStrom, why not plan on doing a slide show for us at the meeting since you're on a trip?!

see you there!

Grant
That would be fun, but I am going to be out of the country before then methinks, my visa runs out about then.

Let do some checking, but at this stage I will be too late,sorry.

Cheers
TS

heya. this is molly. i had a great time at the meeting and enjoyed meeting all of y'all

some folks were asking where they could buy some of the first aid supplies i talked about. so here goes:

needle kit
Amazon.com: Adventure Medical Kits Suture/Syringe Medic Kit: Health & Personal Care

opsite kit (nifty lightweight wound management)
NOLS :: Wilderness Medicine :: WMI Wound Pack

quick clot
QuikClot saves lives by rapidly stopping severe bleeding. Made for travel, home, sports and pets.

dental repair kit.
Amazon.com: Adventure Medical Kits Dental Medic: Sports & Outdoors

burn gel
Amazon.com: WATER JEL BURN GEL PACKETS 25/BOX: Health & Personal Care

not that i recommend buying stuff from amazon

i'll post more when i think of some.

here's where i took my Wilderness First Responder course. i think it was well worth the time and money.
NOLS - WMI : Wilderness Medicine Institute

a fun site for shopping for rescue stuff

Hope everyone had a great time ... I wanted to make it, but I'm sort of stuck in NY for the time being rather than home in SF. Next time!

Wow, I leave the country for a month and this is what happens. I rode my Africa Twin from Ireland to the top of Norway during September.

Hopefully there will be another soon.

Well Done Stephen!
Many thanks to Stephen LeBlanc for taking on HU Californina meeting organizer responsibilities. Was a great meet with super location, terrific catering, very good sessions and clinics, and lots of travellers and bike varieties, even very local wine and 'characters'.

If you didn't go you missed a great time.

Thanks Stephen.

Agreed, as we say in Scotland, it was a "Cracker" and well worth travelling to. In keeping with my next destination, muchas gracias Steve, una mas vez. Might not be grammaticaly correct but the thought is there and shared by I am sure, all that attended. On thing though, how on earth did you organise the weather? Ride safe.

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.
