Sincerely apologies for taking this thread off-track. Won't do it again, promise.

Hi Randy
Now who says you're off track? Could it be you? I think we should be told!

Hi Denis
Without it appearing to be like Groundhog Day, I again refer you to the above posts regarding Hollywood/Disneyland etc: Fully on topic. With regard to the "doggy" comment you refer to, clearly it is off topic and I pointed that out when I wrote it. Thanks for reading my comment. It was an attempt at humour to lighten up an already super duper thread. Obviously not all HUBBer found it funny.

If you have a problem with all this off-your-interesting-topic-ness, please give the other off-topic-ers some grief too. Furthermore it would be nice if you didn't edit and delete various posts 24 hours or so after they are originally written in non confrontational manner to now insult other users. Please don't ask me to tell you which ones they are and split hairs about it. You know exactly what you've done.

Sincerely Randy

Bigotry and hatred are for narrow-minded people. Travel broadens the mind.

My dear Randy,

Its difficult to know what you mean. Really difficult.

Yes you are on topic if you say so.

I have alerted many HUBBers to this thread who would like to see what you say:they are copying it all, they like it so much. A number of them contacted me about this thread, as you did. They know each post which has been"deleted" especially the ones which were interested in my thread.

A big thanks for your talk at Ripley, and thanks for the pics of people in Disneyland. I admire anyone who gives a talk on HU, as my previous testimonial, posted on the HUBB as a kind of stickie, for several years shows. Did you see it?

Best wishes for your next trip!

Edit......PS I often edit my posts for clarity- is that wrong in some way? HU allows it so I think it's ok, dont you?

Edit Ps second edit, I corrected "on" for "in" cos I made a typo. Is that OK?

Edit I have edited this post three times, BTW.

OOps 4 times now!!!!

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.
