Ha ha fishturnedhuman, a Jack or bluebird?
I was using a Acer One netbook in Thailand at the time and the only picture on my screen was one of a frog in an ice cube and someting about the photograph not being able to be shown. I even used the pic in my reply but now I am using an HP laptop I can understand people being baffled by my reply! At some point I will again use the 'Acer' and see what appears now I am back in the UK, sorry to original poster but at the time I could see no picture.

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.
