Telefon (06357) 9753 -80
Fax (06357) 9753 -66

Keep in mind, that most of the dealers are fully booked in summertime.
Might be better to call them up in advance.

@ Bertrand

.. I did contact those you gave me but only got one reply and they wanted 40 euro,s more than it would cost me here in the UK , I thought with the good GBP to Euro rate it would have worked out cheaper in Europe .
Anyway its booked in for before I leave for the HuBB meet

Cheers

Yo Sloth - I gave you the answer to your question.
Don't blame me for pricing or people not answering emails! Sheeesh!
Next I'll probably get the blame for the bm-wobble-U coffee machine being on the fritz when you get there !

Today's malaise

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.
