BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Hi,

Perhaps I can help by giving a good link:

BTW: in my (Safari) browser your homepage looks as if it's been hit by 7 on the Richter scale

Cheers,

Gee

£ 20 !! for 10,000 views of that..................

It just looks a mess to me and left me wondering if there must be some financial gain for "clicks" on your part from advertising, as that's most of what I see.

I too wish to retract my visit.

if you are prepared to give the 20 nicker to charity anyway, why do you need people to hit the blog? Why not just write the cheque?

Its not like its an automated process. Its not like you cant write the cheque till it happens. And it not like you are any better or worse off if you have 9900 views or 10,000 views. You are planning to write the cheque anyway.

You are begging us to help you write a cheque. You dont need our help. Just write the damn cheque.

You make it sound like a scam

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.
