Austin Vince Presentation

Hey all

Went to see Austin do his talkie thing at Brighton last night (23rd) and would like to report that it was fantastic!!!

He was articulate, intelligent, knowledgable, hilariously funny, and a joy to listen too. The talk mainly about Terra Circa was very interesting/inspirational and a few facts about certain other riders always raised a smile.

The only down side was that he didn't get to finish the whole presentation as we got kicked out at 10pm. We missed the last 20 mins.

I would happily listen to Austins ramblings all day and highly recommend you all go see him.

Well done Austin, hope to see you again soon.

I had a great time last night, Austin was on top form and we even had a flasher..! What more could you want on a Thursday night in Edinburgh.

Thanks to Doug and Mike for arranging it, good to meet you, and also the guys for the venue & sustenance.

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.
