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.

Ok guys, fair enough - I should have expressed myself better.

I have nothing against beards and have worn one off and on for most of my adult life - probably 15 years in total with a beard. What I'm talking about is that "semi-shaved" look, where you have a day or two of stubble. Nothing looks worse than stubble, it just looks lazy - sorry Colebatch.

Having said that I did go for a 500km ride yesterday, without having shaved. There was a reason though, I cut myself on Saturday and wanted to give the face a rest to heal.

We have a rule that we can't cut any hair during our trip. Not sure why really, but we're all young and it just seems to add to the adventure. I guess we'll feel more in the spirit of adventure if we are all raggedy

Funny you should say that...

I don't like having stubbble but my gf goes crazy for it. She complains if if have anything less than 2-3 days of rough.

That's my excuse

Well it takes balls to ride 500 kms without shaving - I'll give you that.

The semi shaved look is the one favoured by the talentless George Michael, isnt it? So if that interests you, it's not a good sign...

Dont lose any sleep or "toss" and turn at night. Your hormones will settle down and you'll be all right

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.
