Thank You! :wave:
Hi All,
Thanks for a great weekend... it was great to see those who made it to Applecross in September again and to meet lots of new people too!
A Big THANK YOU to both Iain & Debz for organising everything. It was great... even with the hail... snow... rain... etc... Never camped in hail before! When's the next one!?!
As Laura mentioned... we had a fun ride back up north!
After a very long shower and about an hour infront of the fire I felt human again! Gave the bike a jet wash after work today so it looks better too!
I am still curious though about what happened to the V-Strom? I'm sure that you could have fitted 3 bikes on the trailer!
Also... Clive... how's your Beemer?
Anyway, looking forward to the next one already!
Beej

Albadross, there's a few heading down from Edinburgh. I'll be heading off on Friday night and I think some of the others are leaving on Friday afternoon. You'd be welcome to join us I'm sure.

Britch - off road ride will probably leave about 10.30am-11ish. Road ride will probably be about the same.
Albadross - look forward to seeing you, I'm sure there'll be a brew (tea or ale!) around to warm you up!

Hi John, How are you doing? I've not seen you for ages.
I had been thinking of heading down for this meet, but other stuff has come up

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.
