Smile HUMM15 - Spot tracks

A new feature of this HUMM is that each team had a Spot tracker, which was monitored from HUMM HQ. Very interesting to watch the various team tracks!

Smile Over 645 Class trophies!

#‎HUMM15‬ trophies. We had 2 classes - Over 645 and Under 645. In the Over 645 class...

First Place went to Berber Beemers (Ian Shersby and Olly Bassi) with an incredible 10,356 points! The experience of these veteran HUMMers clearly paid off, as they were also first place overall!

Second Place went to Team Brew Dog (Jim Hind, Simon Davey, Simon Walton-Prince and David Ward) with 8,103 points.

Third Place went to Wrong direction (Patrick Neave, Jeff Kirby, Mark Barrington, Pete Fox) with 7,069 points. These guys were so keen they even have their own stickers and a website for the event! Team Wrong Direction






Well done all! More to come...

Smile Under 645 Class Trophies

In the Under 645 class...

First place went to Wilderness Wheels (Peter Gray and Neil Rathbone) with 10,279 points, just 77 points behind the Berber Beemers for the top overall score, which is a squeaker!

Second place went to Spanglish Riders (Iain Woolley, Jesus Amasene Goicoechea and Steve Wright) with 9,815 points. If not for the flat tire on Day 3, the result might have been much different!

Third place went to Freedom Lovers (Andreas Bengtsson and Andreas Karlsson), who came back from just114 points on Day 1 and a clutch issue to close with 3,953 points - well done guys! And they rode all the way from Sweden just for the event!

Here's all the trophies!





And the winners get to keep them!

Lost but happy!

Hi guys!

Hope everyone got home alright! Me and AB had a long way back to Sweden but we got there eventually I haven't had time to go through all my videos from the event but here's a nice snapshot from my GoPro when AB is reading the map with the "help" from a friendly shepherd.

Hope to see you guys next year, this was great!

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.
