A THIRD Australian HU Meeting in 2013! Perth West Australia 19-20 October
Around eighteen travelers came to the special HU meeting at the Dome Café, Maylands, Perth yesterday.
There was an interesting exchange of knowledge, amusing experiences and travelling tales including:
·Vespa Scooter – Australia to England
·Africa Twin – two up UK to Australia
·KTM 990 – across Australia
·1100 – GS across Australia
·Tales of a Japanese rider on a ‘postie bike’
To name but a few!!
Several present described their positive experience of Horizons Unlimited and the Hubb and how they felt it was time to put something back.
This was following by an interactive Skype conference call with the Horizons Unlimited Founders – Grant and Susan Johnson.
We are very happy to report we agreed to hold the first Perth HU meeting – on the weekend of 19/20th of October 2013.
· Grant and Susan Johnson will be here in WA to guide us on our journey.
Perth has a dedicated group of travelers and we look forward to celebrating the 10th anniversary of HU meetings in Australia here in Perth.
We look forward to welcoming you from across Australia and beyond, watch this space for further details.
Thanks, Ewen MacGregor and Dave Fox-Spencer

Perth meet - 'ride out'
presuming you mean over the meeting weekend for ride out - my plan if we can get enough helpers - is to have the meet split into two. Sat - separate location - camp out - more practical workshop & ride out would be a possibility. Sunday - trip presentations - more workshops Perth pub location...all dependent on how many folk offer to help out thanks.

It was great to meet everyone and hear inspiring stories, made me even more keen to get out there and explore.
I'm keen to help out if I can, we spoke briefly about providing paramedic/first aid info for travellers.
Cheers, Dave

Perth meet
Hi Ewen, I hope this is correct as I have never posted on a thread before!
I have e-mailed Grant and Susan and offered our assistance at the 2013 meeting, they advised me to contact you.
Diane and myself have just arrived in Mandurah after riding around Australia on two bikes, prior to that we rode the east coast of Africa two up on my KTM, from the UK.
We have worked at the UK meets in various capacities, from registration desks, army gazebos erection and days spent sawing wood for the road kill cook-out. I also mentioned that we were curious about presenting, but very nervous as we have never done it. (Grant said everyone is, go and do it!!!!) so were still nervous.
Anyhow if you need staff and want to get in contact my cell number is
0403961516
and our blog is
www.rimorterra.wordpress.com
Also our very good friends who now live in Geraldton, but originally from Port Elizabeth, RSA, are interested in helping out. They have travelled extensively in southern Africa two up on a BMW.
Maybe meet for a  when it stops raining, lol
Best regards
Andrew & Diane

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.
