Lee, you Can also change your IP address on your Wireless Router ( Bet Grant didn't know that?) the Conceptronic C54 APRA2+ wireless Router also acts as its own "SERVER" thereby having an individual IP address....... which you can change at will........ 
I wil PM you on the other matter!

wet weather
back to original post of riding in the rain.
i ride all year round and always wear the gear. somebody said something about making it illegal to ride in the rain! you'd never ride your bike in britain if that happened! i carry a one piece waterproof with me at all times but when i ride in the rain i am so cautious (especially on roundabouts) that i get cars right up my backside which seriously gets to me. they dont do it when i'm driving my truck!

Even In Saudi
Nice and smooth in the rain for me.
I was riding from Jeddah over the mountains in rain and fog with a trail of cars following close behind for miles on end using me as their guide when suddenly the road changed from three lanes down to two,  I saw it in time and swerved over but the cars behind went straight down a bank.
I think the Saudies have had driving lessons in Spain as they leave it to the last minute to leave a motorway from the outside lane.
Cheers
Ian

Walkabout you want a ride report, Dragged the ktm out it was raining rode north from my house up the coast to Bamburgh it was still raining, dark dark clouds and a bit of wind (Mainly from my soup at lunch time) Bamburgh looks good in this weather the sea is white with froth and waves the sky moody, From here turned inland over to Belford then over the moor to wooler very nice road, its still raining - snow on the cheviots - kept heading north west past wooler to kirk newton (Near the north side of cheviot (lovely scenery but its raining and a touch of sleet) then north to Cornhill cross the border into Scotland and a coffee at Coldstream. From here it was a quick blast to Duns coffee and a pee at my mates house, touch of white stuff on higher ground but nothing to shout about its getting dark now !!! so its back to Berwick - south to Alnwick and then on to home. It Rained nearly all the way !. Wet stayed on the outside of me and once again another nice afternoon run out in the rain. About 130 miles in all. As for sliding or slipping on wet roads RUBBISH - ive got a modern bike with modern semi knobbly tyres and 30 years of riding all year round under me belt.
That keep you happy. No photos though didnt take the camera -it might of got wet you know -after all it was raining.

It's a start!
As per this thead from Dan 23:-
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...od-stuff-30852
which has not really "clicked" with the readers  .
Next time someone from overseas, say, wants to know where to go in England, and they do a search for, say, "Coldstream" (OK, it is in Scotland)they will be blessing you!!
Cheers,

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.
