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.

Wink What does a moderator look like in the Bar?
Now that the bar is open for business it might be prudent to be able to recognise a moderator or two when they walk in to break up the scrapping; it's been suggested that a mod should be called a bouncer (so that the rockers don't mix it with the mods on Brighton beach maybe?).

So, do they all wear DJs' and Dicky bow ties, or something else that can be recognised?

(still snowing, but the main reason for this thread is to see that a new one can be started).

Would this scare you.....
So Dave, I thought I'd throw "bouncer" in google image search for "What does bouncer look like";


Not what you had in mind?

Wink That's my bouncer chair!
Yep, I reckon google got it wrong - it's mixed it up with the bar furniture; that's the chair I use when down the bar for a pint or three, while watching the Rugby on the big screen.

It's handy for camping as well of course.

So, they work in 3's - probably two hold you, the third one opens the door, and hey presto, you're out in the street!

Quite right, and it's always the quiet one you have to watch out for.

But isn't this supposed to be the place where the bouncers throw you

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.
