Question Argentina HU meeting 2015 ?

Hi all,

is the 2015 meeting on? did somebody talk to Oskar recently?

as I will be flying back to Bolivia in the end of November, there is a slight chance that if Oskar is organizing another meeting, that I ride down again. The last time (in 2013 I think) I did 7200km in 16days on my Africa Twin and it was a lot of fun.

greetings from Greece

Hola Mika
As far he have posted on the “Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Adventure Travellers” Facebook page:

“Un aviso para todos los amigos viajeros que planean venir a Ushuaia o pasar por Viedma este año 2015, volvemos a hacer nuestro pequeño encuentro en el Balneario El Cóndor después de dos años de obligado descanso. Tienen que avisar para saber cuantos somos. La inscripción es gratis, solo pagas el camping y la comida. Fecha 5, 6 y 7 de diciembre, en e camping Los Trentinos del Balneario El Cóndor.- Los Esperamos.-“

Also the page on the main web is active again: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/argentina-2015

I think some historic attendants are coming this year again, we personally don’t know yet but as usual we will do as much as we can, to help Oscar and if possible to ride down there too. Maybe we meet again soon there or maybe in BA. Abrazo!!!

Thumbs up three weeks to go ...

Hola todos,

another three weeks to go to the Viedma meeting. Who is coming?

I still dont know if I can make it, but a friend offered a bike to ride to Viedma, so lets see how it works out ... two more days in Germany, than two days in Switzerland, than a week in Spain before I am back in Bolivia ... anyway its a long ride and I have a few things to organize ...

hope to meet you in Viedma.

My apologies, I was there in 2012 (good photos of you chilled Mika) but we're in a freezing cold Scotland saving for the next one. Sent Oscar a E mail wishing him well.
Hopefully we'll return soon

I believe Rod in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil contacted you about running a Brazilian HU event in February 2016. Is it happening? I can't see it in the events list in the right hand side bar.

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.
