Shane, Dorothy and Helen,
Thanks for all your efforts that led to a wonderful meeting - as good and as inspirational as ever. I've come away from the meeting reinvigorated and inspired - and with the information to change my thinking from "I'll probably go to Africa next" to "I will go to Africa next". Roll on 2013.

Photos, stories
Martin,
Glad you got home safely and reasonably comfortably. You really made a huge effort to be there are your presentation was great.
Just a reminder to everyone that we need to spread the word a bit and if you can send photos to me that would be great. Better yet, upload them to the Flickr account.
For the authors among us, feel free to submit a story to:
Peter Thomeig (The Bear), Australian Road Riders Magazine: thebear@universalmagazines.com.au
Tom Foster, Trail Bike Adventure Magazine: tom@tbam.com.au.

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

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.
