Lift required Bournemouth to HU

Hi All
I know this is a very long shot but I have just got home from trying to ride to the HU meet and wondered if anyone was going up from this area in a car I live in Bournemouth but could get a lift from here to were you start from
I had knee surgery a few weeks ago and have only just got back on the bike I did a ride out the other day to see if I would be OK and all went well so today I set off bike loaded and full of hope and about 30 miles down the road I had to turn round and come back

Like I say I know this is a real long shot but you never know and of course the normal money for petrol rules apply

07968662852

If I cant work out a way of getting there I will see you all next year


I’m off to unpack my bike
Now were are those cans of

Hi Brain thanks for the offer of the lift I made it there on my bike in the end I just had to wear different trousers that didn’t pull on the knee and not strap it up so tight
I did mean to give you a call and say thanks in person at the weekend but you now how it is when you are having fun

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.
