If you plan on hitting Niagara Falls and then come back to Hamilton, we have a spare room if your here when we are home.

If it is around Sept 20-23 come check the HU meeting out in Ontario.

Cross Canada trip

Was there a follow-up result to this? Sounds like a great trip and lots of support. Would love to hear how it went.

getting your bike out

shelia

are you using an agent to get your bike through customs?

we land in halifax on 1 may and want to hit the road asap, long tale but need to be in seattle 10 days later, every agent we ask has said that the importer needs to do the customs clearance and loosing time clearing the bike makes the timescale hard to meet

cheers speech

more Nova Scotia hospitality

I live on the Glooscap Trail in Nova Scotia in the rural seaside misnamed community of Economy on the Bay of Fundy, even higher tides than Wolfville though they are pretty much right across from us. And people around here are even nicer and smarter too. Tent space and sometimes even a bed available for HU bikers.

Cheers,
Larry

Seeing as how Sheila planned this trip for 2012 (see the title subject) you might be a couple of years too late...

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.
