Where's TED?

Has anyone seen or heard from TEDMAGNUM?

I’m starting to get a little worried as his sites been down for a while and his not been posting the Hubb, I don’t have Shellie’s email address to ask her as I know they are quite close.

So if anyone could help that would be great.

He's been posting for the last 3 days on the HUBB and on his website 2 days ago where he says he's just got back from Antarctica.

Hi sorry I missed that post stupid me,

All I get when trying to get the site from my PC is the following,

<html xmlns=XHTML namespace



And when I use my iPhone (in phone mode not wifi) I get exactly the same, but every other site I try works fine.

Sorry again.

Hi
Teddy was two days a go in Rio Grande (TdF) going to Punta Arenas yesterday….
He will be for few days offline, not easy to find good internet connections down there.
He told me will be in BA in two weeks for some TLC.

Hey Ted

Didn't think we'd get rid of you that easily. Hope you're making notes for September - you're still on my list!! Looks like we'll be bringing it forward a week, just trying to finalise the date. You still up for Morocco?

So if you can't dazzle them with brilliance you're going to baffle them with b******t!!

Got to finalise the date, but 2nd or 3rd week in Sept. We'll be doing Morocco on a budget so you'll just need a tent. Andy bought me a guide book for Crimbo so when I'm not so busy working I'll thumb through it. We've already got a few places on the list, but we're a few months off yet.

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.
