Rally was a new experience. Had intended to stay to Sunday but ended up bolting about 8:30 pm on Friday. Enjoyed Clinton, the aussies, making friends lady, and the rally guys. Steak dinner was good. You might consider Paris fairgrounds for next Ontario HU rally. They are bike friendly, have lots of buildings, good camping, showers, and very convenient for about six million people. Thanks to all who organized for their hard work.

Patrick Trahan

Just a quick note to mention that Patrick's presence provided a different perspective and his candor and sense of humor was appreciated. He is a straight shooter and tells you what he likes and doesn't like about bikes and equipment as well.

Hope to see him again next year.

Cheers,

Great photos

Thanks for posting up the picture link Ride4Adventure, I too am looking forward to next years event. Now that I have more of an idea of how to do the schedule it will be more organized. I can't believe how well all of the folks who agreed to do presentations did such a great job. I very much enjoyed meeting many folk. I tried to do a walk around the camp to meet as many folks as I could.
I just have to say Grant, your wife is the so much fun to hang out with

We did not get pulled in by customs once

Cheers
Cath

Sorry you missed it!

We do send out an email to all HU Community Members in a certain radius, and it's in the newsletter so those folks know all about it. Due to privacy considerations - (you didn't agree to us sending promo emails) and complexity (not everyone puts in their location, and trying to include every possible combination / permutation of every location in a radius, is way too hard) - we can't send out an email to HUBB users.

Best - join your local Community to keep up with EVERYTHING going on in your area, including min-meetings organized by locals, travellers coming to town and the community getting together for a drink or dinner to meet them etc.

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.
