Sorry guy's can't make it, , working in the Gulf of Mexico, I come off the boat 31st July then go back on 5 weeks later (4th Sept until 2nd October).
Intend having some weekends away touring Scotland this coming break, I know a lot of great places / campsites to go to if anyone is interested.

I reckon I should be able to make this meet, tried for Donington but work commitments and the ongoing build of the truck didn't allow me the time..

This would be our first Hubb meet so a couple of questions.. I have a truck (Bedford MJ) that carry our two 650 KLR's on the back and acts as home! is there somewhere we can park the rig or am I best just bringing the bikes and camping gear?

Been a bit non computer friendly how do I book and pay?

Forget my last I found the registration page ;-) so should be good to go!! I guess I fit in the motorhome category which sounds a bit grand for a big dirty truck that needs no electric hook up and most certainly docent need hard standing.. Will register and roll up and park as close to the camp fore as possible.. looking forward to it ;-)

Hi all, due to an enforced change of circumstances am pretty certain I wont be able to make this event. I am gutted about it.
So I have a place available for a tent, if anyone wants to purchase this how would we go about selling/ swapping names on the list etc?

Thats Mike paid up for the weekend. We will be arriving on the Thursday so fingers crossed we get a bottom of hill campsite less distance to stagger back to the tent.
Will be great to meet up with everyone again.

Rough time at the moment. My own fault. Will be alright in the end though. Just means I cant get to this event. Disappointed as it would be my first.

Cheers

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
