South America On The Horizon
We just sent you a PM. Thanks for stepping up.
As you know from previous meetings, it's always a fun weekend, a chance for those of you soaring eagles to collect and trade tales.
Regards,

Good question. We're asking HU administration why your registration was not forwarded. It may be plugged up in the cyber channels or we're supposed to wait for Wikileaks to release it :-)
Thanks for the heads-up. Meanwhile we used our official HU pencil to note you in our analog paper day planner as having registered :-)

As a politician would say, "I accept responsibility," then forget
Dear ouroboros: your requested email address for Rider's Corner is: riders.corner.cnx at gmail.com
Phil answers all restaurant/bar/hotel correspondence, I believe. I "suspect" he has been away from his office, possibly deep in the jungles of Asia in conjunction with their motorbike tour company MotoAsia Motorcycle adventure tours in Asia | Motoasia which is now entering "high season" and finds him busier than a one-handed banker trying to change the old paper money for the new in India these days.
Like you, I'm not an avid looker/poster/follower on FB (or any other social media). However, I did look at HU today, and answered your PM, which you posted 12 hours ago, with an immediate PM to you. I, like Phil, have been away from my office and the NET forum, testing motorcycles and equipment (like the Texas Catheter Codpiece) in the jungles for my upcoming leg of a 'rtw ride: Great Around The World Motorcycle Adventure Rally: SECRETS OF PLANNING FOR STAGE THREE - THE DARK CONTINENT, AFRICA
So, as would a politician, I'll say, "I accept responsibility." Unlike a politician who forgets/ignores what they said, I'll look into the why and wherefores of how some Big Brother international agency might be holding your email to the Rider's Corner for review, or if it's merely on the bottom of a big stack of others.
From the picture attached below you can see that the Rider's Corner has doubled it's floor space. Besides operating a rapidly growing motorcycle (and 4 x 4 overlander, and bicycle) tour company, they (Phil and wife Som) manage the restaurant/bar/four room hotel as well as produce and sell the most up-to-date maps of SE Asia, souvenir T-shirts and rent smaller displacement motorcycles. I can see how, after awaking at 5:00 AM each day and working until closing time, they might have overlooked an email. I overlook email (don't connect with the Net) for days, in part because I am the "World's #1 Motorcycle Adventure Sleeper and Layabout," and #2, have a $20.00 USD cell phone which I check for missed calls about once a day (and the 8 track player in my car isn't connected to the Net).
BTW, you didn't reply to my earlier mid-October PM response to your post about what topic you propose to present if you could schedule attendance in January, which by attempting to make a reservation for the Saturday night BBQ, we assume you have now confirmed. I'm told we've still got an opening and are always looking for professional multi-media entertainment.

Geoff G.Thomas officially named Master of Ceremonies, “the 2017 Man With The Plan”
Geoff G. Thomas has officially been named The Horizons Unlimited Master of Ceremonies, “the 2017 Man With The Plan.”
Globe rider, writer, and world record holder for doing 1,000 kilometers in Thailand on a Tiger Cub motorcycle in 24 hours, has been officially designated the Master of Ceremonies for the 2017 Thailand Mini-Meeting.
Known for his wry British sense of humor, dogged determination to do what others say can’t be done on a motorcycle, and MISSION IMPOSSIBLES super star look-alike, Thomas brings the core of Horizons Unlimited global motorbike travel essence to the January, 2017 event.
Thomas is one of the graduates of the Jupiter Travel’s writer’s congregation. His highly acclaimed book, ASHES TO BOONVILLE (Poor Circulation) can be found at the usual Internet outlets and is a recommend read before meeting him. Bring a copy and he'll autograph it.
Attendees can expect an entertaining two evenings at the Rider’s Corner Bar and Restaurant in Chiang Mai, with Thomas implementing his plan for fun.

Free touratech thailand stickers
We are told that all attendees will receive free TOURATECH stickers, compliments of TOURATECH Thailand.
Free draft  for an hour on Friday night, free adventuro supreme TOURATECH stickers on both nights and free travellers information and road gossip both nights. Even the Cheapest Motorbike Backpacker traveller can't go wrong.
NOTE: There is no fact checking yet that has proved true the wild rumor that Geoff Thomas has called upon his longtime 'rtw Brit road pal "Charley" to make an appearance.

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.
