hey,

don't suppose anyone's packing some hairspray ? need to fit some new bar-grips to the bicycle, and hairpsray is the stuff to do it. but I only need a couple of skooshes, so a bit of a waste (for me!) to buy a whole can.

cheers

Found a wee tin of hairspray for you will put it beside all the other stuff waiting to be packed. Thankfully it was in a bag at the top of the wheelie so no embarassment rooting around in it

Heaven Scent (.co.uk) in Milnathort, centre of town opposite the Royal Hotel. Very inexpensive, usual breakfasts, rolls, lunches, etc. But also magnificent cakes; essential cycling fuel.

19 South St, Milnathort, Kinross-Shire KY13 9XA

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.
