Labrador next week??
Anyone else from HU around to ride through Labrador next week?
I'll be in Montreal tonight then heading eastward, route undecided as yet (now there's a surprise  ).

I might be heading that way in a day or two. Are you planning mainly dirt or paved roads? Hotels or camping? I'm in Hamilton Ontario right now with street tires on, my TKC80's are in Saint John NB at a friends house.

I'm heading out this morning for North Bay, then I'll be heading east from there. Let me know if you still want some company.

company??
Just as I thought I was going to be No Mates Norma (yet again!) Hi Planethopper - I'm not sure where North Bay is but I am currently in Labrador City - a bit of a misleading name as the place has about 2000 people and would barely make it as a village in England.
amazing ride up here from Baie Comeau,
getting my starter looekd at later today I hope then maybe continuing towards Goose Bay/Happy Valley tomorrow- if you see me on the road you won't be able to miss me - the batterd yellow/black BMW bike, english number plates and a Chicks Rule sticker - and err, I seem to be the only bike on the road anyway- no other bikes since leaving the tarmac yesterday morning.
And has anyone noticed...there's a hurricane on its way in!
Having only spoken french for the past three days - I have now increased my vocabulary to include "ouragan" (hurricane)- I've been trying to translate how strong everyone says it's going to be- but trying to understand Quebecois accent can be a bit tricky at the best of times, when they're excited about Ouragan Earl, it's even harder!
see you on the road?

I am somewhere between Quebec City and River de Loop. Still heading east. I might be meeting up with a friend to do the Cabot Trail but we all know how that goes, I'll be doing it myself. If I would have seen your post earlier I would have definitely hooked up with you for the whole Trans Labrador trip.

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.
