Hey Tiff - will be great to see you and have a good old jaw!

I'll be on my Hornet so wont be able to do off road......but there is a chance I might arrive on my long suffering all terrain pizza delivery bike, a veteran of many places unsuitable and verboten.

Talking Speakers
Of course we're going to have good weather!

Anyone else who wants to do a talk or presentation??
It's a good opportunity to try out presenting with a small but supportive audience, in preparation for potentially doing one at the HUBB UK or just becaue you fancy giving it a try.
It's always great to hear new people giving talks. 45 minutes, or less if you prefer- the time flies, believe me!!
We've got Dan doing a talk about riding to Mongolia, so come on the rest of you....

Me and Nads will do one if you still need some. We can focus on what we rode and how we prepared and leave the Mongolian bit out.

Talking Beer and Chilli
As Loo and Gary are sorting out some of the catering needs for the weekend, they do have a couple of questions...
Beer,,,and how much. They're happy to order in and get the stocked up as there isn't a pub nearby so we'll be having a marquess masquerading as a tent- please would you let us know approximately how much you might like- it's Cornish ale type stuff or Rattler if you're lucky (and if you don't know what Rattler is then you're in for a treat)

Also on Saturday night there is going to be a big pot of chilli with bread- again, they'd liek to have a orugh idea of numbers and if there are any veggies as there will also be a veggie chilli. A few quid to chip in for food costs.

So please post up your and chilli requirements or PM myself or Loo and Gary.

Mark Manley has also offered to do "What to Pack and How to Pack it" Seminar- Loo has subtitled it "pair of Pants and a Credit Card!!"
pants and a credit card

Rich and Belle, I think we may be taking you up on your offers of talks, so be prepared.

Meanwhile Loo and Gary are trying to suss out numbers for ride outs - the road ride out is organised, they're wondering how many are interested in the off-road ride out?? Karl and Mavis are, come on the rest of you....
Yep I'm happy to join you on an off-road ride out. About time I got some more bruises!!!

Talking See You Tomorow
This looks like it's going to be a good one.
Many thanks to those who have responded with , cider, chilli and ride-out requests.
The weekend does not bode well for me as I've managed to lock my tent and pillow in my sister's car AND lost the keys!!
and errr, she doesn't know yet as she's overseas till Saturday.

Not sure what to do, but Tall Girl Anna is coming to help me out tomorrow and then after a 12 hour shift at work I'll be riding on up to St Agnes to see you all.
So if anyone is around to put up my reserve tent (like a parachute I always have a spare) before I get there at 10pm, I'll buy a couple of s for the helpfu bod.
And in case you're wondering...Anna is going to deliver it so it's ready for my arrival. ooooh the life of Riley with a support vehicle.

Sounds great guys. Sadly still on two legs as opposed to two wheels after recent mishaps so won't be able to make it...though I guess if I start walking this second, I might get there in time...

Have a good 'un and bring back pics

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.
