First Timer
Hello fellow travelers,
This HU meet has caught my attention and now a goal for my first trip back on my bike after breaking my leg in Dec 2013. Hopefully I am not being over ambitious as re-joining my Tiger 800XC in Ft Lauderdale, FL next week and it looks like a bit of a haul all the way up there! However, enthusiasm will prevail.
Excited and looking forward to my first HU Meet (I'd better get that routing finalized).
Steve

To register, or not
Can anyone help me out with regards to registering, or not, when on an extended trip?
We would like to attend, and are happy to present, however our attendance, given we'll be coming from NY, is not certain.
At this stage, I would put us at a 77.3% attendance certainty; do we register and risk a no show (but inform Grant as soon as possible if that's the case), or wait until the last minute?
Which one is preferable, given our situation?
Thanks, Rob.

Hi Rob,
I normally book last minute before the 'cut off' as my work schedule is constantly changing and Im on call 24/7 with a rescue team.
In your situation Id probably turn up last minute, but its your call.
Grant and Susan have been doing HUBB meetings long enough to understand if you cant make it, 'shit happens' when you are on the road, if you cant make it, it would be polite to let them know with a quick email if you are presenting so they can fill the space with another presentation or workshop

As Gipper said, but if you're presenting there are issues - we may have a full schedule, we may have lots of space for more, it's hard to say. We really need to be 98.7% sure to put you on the schedule. So, best I guess, is 2 weeks out, register to present if you're confident you'll be there. If not just register on the day if you make it, and ask if there's room for another presentation or two.
Hope to see you there!

Hey Steve,
I'm in the Tetons and heading to Yellowstone in a couple of days.
What are you riding?
I'm on an airhead, so its slow and steady for me.
See you there if not before.

First Nakusp visit
I'm looking forward to visiting Nakusp, seeing the area and meeting the group. I'm willing to volunteer but at 70 try to keep me off my hips as I've done a good job of wearing them out and I'm still working on it!

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.
