The definition of "heat" and "sun" ..... ?  )
Not what a SA nor OZie would call heat and sun ... it was a triffle damp in 2007.
---------------
On sessions that over run .. try breaking them up into segments .. eg the GPS ;-
One on how the GPS system works .. would not take 15 minutes to cover the basics of that.
Then one on Garmins mapsource program
Then one on the garmin/garmin compatable maps ?
Then one on POI
One on tracks/routes.. ?
Just a thought - what does Tim think?
-------------------
The Yoga for bikes is really good .. if you have not been then go to this one.

@Johan-
a real pity, but such is life. I won't be attending the meeting in Ripley this year, because I'll visit the first ever HU meeting in Germany.
Ag nee man, miskien kan ons 'n  drink so in twee jaar in SA?
Enjoy your trip!
Hans

I've been before .. once in February too (on a bike). So I know what to expect. No that long in 2007, could have been a week or two longer. And I've had a lot worse in past trips. Think 2 days of constant rain ... and cool to boot.
From the 2007 trip - got back to Sydney and the Quarantine guy wants to see my boots .. they commented "they are clean!" my thoughts were - what do you expect? Washed by British weather they will be clean.

It was an exceptional summer in 07.
This one cannot be as wet surely?
Mind, it's never been the same since El Nino was mentioned.

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.
