Hi Chris
I guess you are trying to add up the numbers for this, Me + pal from Brid are OK for Saturday, not Friday now, and another guy from Bedale has requested if he can attend, on a Harley. Hope that's OK?

Cheers!
Col

Mechanical issues

My throttle cable's snapped. Presence now dependent on when the replacement shows up and whether there's enough days without pissing down rain between then and departure for me to replace it. Grr.

But on the plus side the left grip is now heated

You can cross off the question mark on my name, I am a definite attendee, and I will be dragging one other along.

Looking forward to it; the Turkish sabres of Sevastapol couldn't turn me away.

Hi Chris
You'll have to count me out this time. I'm working down in Portsmouth at the moment and it's just not really practical without taking too much time off work.

I've got the thermals ready, wet suit and tesco bags for the boots.

I'll be there for the Saturday, then home to British West Hartlepool for tea.

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.
