Nice blog Scootergal. I'm interested in the flipcard features, how do you do that?

That's an excellent idea about facebook. If anyone is interested, my facebook thingy is: https://www.facebook.com/shane.kuhl1

If you see pictures my DR800 and V-Star 650 you are in the right place.

Be aware though, I'm quite likely to invite you to the Adventure Travel Film Festival as well as next year's Horizons Unlimited events. That is, once I'm recovered from this one.

Oh, and my blog is: sanityontwowheels.blogspot.com

It's one of the Dynamic templates from Blogger. I'm not overly thrilled with Blogger - there are a lot of things that break too easily.

I had a great weekend, and met a heap of people who I never met before, except by online

Great to meet Susan and Grant finally, missed by 2 days on my Americas trip in 09, but better late than never. I missed getting a group photo, better get the photoshop out

Roll on next year, maybe a trip, maybe a HU meet, or both

Also, for those that don't have it and actually want it, my facebook account is

Cheers

Had a great time at dayboro. It was the first time I have attended one of these gatherings and I might say it was inspiring.
Could anyone tell me who the vendor was selling items right out front of the hall. I failed to get a card and can't remember who he was. He had a catalogue of racks that I am trying to source.
Regards,
Richard.

Hi Richard,

Really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the weekend. Hope that you can make it next year as we have some big plans; bigger venue and the first weekend in October ( the Monday is a public holiday ). Watch this space for complete details.

There were two vendors; Lachlan from MTD luggage ( European Motortours with MotoGP and SBK, Motorparts Australia, Bike Luggage, Classic Motorcycles - MTD-Luggage Classic Line )and Ron from Motorcycle Adventure Products ( Adventure Bike | Commuter | Cruiser | Sports Tourer | MotorCycle Adventure Products supports them all! )

Regards,

Shane

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
