2014 was the first year I missed, lost a valve adjuster on the way north from the NC event. I'm excited for the new time and location. Getting out of the nice, warm sleeping bag in the morning was a bit of a challenge.

Looking forward to this! Looks like a great location. Went to North Carolina in 2013 but missed last year.

I'll be riding in from Central New York, assuming I can secure that elusive Canadian visa and get the carnet required to enter Canada all set up. :justkidding:

Honda Canada and the African Twin
Hello all,
Just a little note on the African Twin and Honda dealerships...I just attended an event down here in Maine and during a Q&A session with both the owner and their sales manager, neither one knew anything about the A-Twin!!! Slightly sheepish grins all around when I introduced THEIR potential customers to the newest bike release from Honda to North America...so, perhaps someone who knows the Canadian dealership could pass this note along to them, it might provide some insights to the Q's they will get from the HU attendees!

Cheers, and see you soon!
MC

Event Location
I spent this past weekend at the MOA event in Orillia. It just so happens that was held at the same location as the Horizon’s Unlimited Ontario event in June, and was a similar format, just on a smaller scale. It was a great dry run for Bill Hooykaas and myself to prepare for the HU, anyone going to the HU event is in for a real treat, it can only get better. For a complete review check out my blog at www.gregsadventure.com

Just remember to bring your own bedding if you’re not camping.

We attended our first HU meeting in VA we loved it & could hardly absorb all the information.
We are now hoping to make the trip from VA where we live to the Canada meeting in June.

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.
