Belgium Meeting 2006

Anyone going here ???

I am going with my Defender, it would be nice to see some other 4x4's.

Any oversea visitors looking for simply accomodation for wednesday (or sunday) night give me a shout, got some space available at my home (belgiumborder).

Regards Derek-Jan

I will be coming too. From Denmark, then continuing onto England. On a BMW F650GS Dakar. Plan to get there on Thursday and leave early on Monday, but these may be liable to change.

Total registrations is at 91 at the moment, and we always have at least 10% just arrive without registering.

So it's going to be goood! We have LOADS of presentations lined up, the bonfire will be on, cool rideouts, some of that famous French/Belgian cuisine is on the cooker, and the venue is awesome!

See you there!

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.
