New Years, Rio Pipo Camp Ground Ushuaia
Hi all

Currently 5 bikes here in Rio Pipo Camp Ground Ushuaia - 1 Aussie 08 KLR, 1 German 08 KLR and 3 from Holland 3 x XT Yamaha's

If no one else turns up, we will have to drink all the whiskey by ourselves .

If you can't make it - hope you have a great New Years where ever you are.

Cheers Ben

Talking Happy New Year!
Ben, Glad to see you made it finally. I have been following the emails and such. It looks like you had a great trip (except maybe that route out of the Salar) . What are the plans now? Keep riding?. Let us know.

Happy memories of 07/08: a bottle of 'Paddy' (Industrias Argentinas brand) for less than six pesos. Tried it in my Whisperlite - it worked!

Feliz Año.

Regards, Mick

New Years
Hi all,
Ushuaia went off with a bang this year, about 12 bikes and 15 riders. A bbq and bonfire, many drinks, laughs and Fred threw a old tin of chain lube in the bonfire ( the bang )

I will post some photos soon,
Cheers Ben.

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.
