List of folks and bikes in Ushuaia, 2004.

Ushuaia, Argentina is the southernmost city in the world, and as such, is a meeting place of all the touring motofreaks every year for Christmas and New Years Eve. Heres a list of who, on what, and from where for how long. This year we all ganged up on the fantastic folks at the Rugby Club Camping ground and stuffed ourselves silly with a bbq`d lamb and boxes of Argentinian wine. We were even fortunate enough to be a part of TWO engagements!!

Apologies to those that I may have missed.

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.
