Australia, Melbourne - Invitation, Room

Hi Guys,
Any riders passing through Melbourne (Australia) are welcome to contact me at my mobile number +61 413 066 905 or you can mail me at the address haribombay( at )gmail.com available in the link above. I would be able to provide accomodation in my unit that I share with friends(free of course). From whatever we have I can atleast spare a bed / blankets and stuff like that ;-) and of course some badly cooked Indian food :-)

Covered parking availble !!

I used to ride a Enfield Bullet Electra on Smallish rides in India , I have recently Migrated to Australia.
Contact me If you need any help in this part of the country and I will see whatever best I can do.
Red Bull

Thanks, Red Bull, that's a generous offer. I never managed to get over to Mumbai, maybe Oz one day... is it a permanent emigration or a work contract?

Drop by if you're in the UAE.

Thumbs up It is actually permanent immigration

Hi Stephano,
Yeah we didn't meet in India, perhaps we meet in OZ , hopefully. Thanks for the UAE offer, I believe there are a lot of Indians(malayalis from Kerala) in UAE

About OZ, I have got my permanent resident visa(and after 2 months of desperate search a decent job), so I can stay here and take citizenship if I want(after 2 years) but I am not planning on it (Don't know can't say as of now). Eventually I will make some money and go back to India, I am here for atleast 5 years I hope:-)

The earlier post for accomodation in Mumbai was not of much use actually, no one came, I had to finally resort to sending emails to travellers passing by to come over and that way I had Linda Bick coming over to my place.

In Oz I myself am not that settled, I don't have a bike yet and the house is rented accomodation. But would be more than happy to share whatever that I have with fellow travellers. Atleast a comfortable night stay with some burnt Indian food :-) should not be a problem.

So hope to see you here soon,

Red Bull

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.
