Looking for Help in Ireland
Are you an experienced motorcycle traveler?
Are you competent around motorcycles?
Are you looking to live in Ireland for free for the summer?
Motofeirme is an almost zero profit business I started 2 years ago to help travelers realize their dream of touring Europe on their own motorcycles.
As well as storing the bikes, I offer the traveler cheap accommodation in both a dorm and a campground.

What I need for the summer is someone to come and help with the running of the business.

The duties are "just be here" when people arrive.
I have to work a normal job that I cannot afford to quit so you will be the face people see when they arrive.
Basically a greeter, introduce people to their motorcycles and show them local routes. If they stay on the property, show them the facilities and all the usual stuff.
For payment, I will supply a free place to live and pay for groceries.
The proceeds of the dorm and campsite will then be split evenly between us, basically money.
I will also expect some menial duties like painting, weeding, etc to be done but, nothing more than an hour or two per day on average.
When there are weeks that no travelers arrive, you are free to explore our beautiful island.

If you know anyone this may interest, please pass it on.

WW.

Quick update.
This position was filled by Phil, from Holland who did an amazing job of looking after the bikers.
Thank you to all that responded.

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.
