What a fantastic weekend. Hats off to Rupert, Lois and Austin for organizing but also to the people who made such brilliant films.

If you weren't there this year, you missed out. DOn't make the same mistake in 2013 and see you there!

Can only add my concurrence - it was a fantastic weekend. Hats off to Rupert (and all the behind the scenes people) for organising it and Austin and Lois for making it all possible.

To all those who were there - see you again in 2013; and to those of you thought about it but didn't quite make it - well you missed a great event and make sure you get there in 2013 so we can be certain this will develop into a financially sustainable event.

As everyone has said already, it was a great weekend and well worth making the journey to Bright, Victoria. All films and presentations were extremely good, but for me the best of the bunch was Riding Solo To The Top Of The World which i recommend to everyone.

Well done Rupert, Austin, Lois and all of the organisers in making it happen.

It's now on my 'must do list' for next year!

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.
