Ace Cafe mini meet - London -
It seems there is some interest for a meet at the Ace Cafe. So I thought I would get the ball rolling, once again!
link here: http://www.ace-cafe-london.com/
I would suggest Sunday 4th of February. I believe the UKGSers also meet at the Ace Cafe on the 1st Sunday of every month. So good double opportunity!
It would be nice to see everybody else bike, modifications etc....
Of course everyone including the 4X4 brigade welcome to the meet! Although not sure where you're gonna park the 4X4s?????
How to recognise each other and avoid confusion of last pub meet?
As it is winter, walking around in a HU T-shirt is not a very good idea.
I have a HU sticker on my top box. I would suggest: try as much as you can to park next to someone with a HU sticker and identify yourself.
And as I am the one setting this up and I don't know who's coming yet (!) let's say we meet by my bike at 11am. My bike is a black BMW F650GS, 04 Reg, black top Box and HU sticker on it, and I will wear a BMW Santiago jacket, colour Pale SAND. I should be easy to spot!
Hopefully see lots of you there!

Sounds good. Nice easy run for me down the M40. Should be on a yellow CCM (if sun's shining, it starts etc). Red Discovery if not

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.
