Hey Barney have you decided on road plans? I thinking of heading over again this year. Probably leaving Thursday to get there Friday. Returning again over 2 days just to enjoy it.

I normally travel via Williamstown and Palmer to Tailem bend also. Might look to tag along if travel dates are amicable

Thanks Barney.

Sounds like a plan, are you planning on doing any dirt roads on the way?
I will be on a 2010 1200GSA but possible its first outing with me, normally on a big road bike, but haven ridden on plenty of dirt with road bike previously.

Will you be camping at Bendigo?

Wasn't really planning any dirt. Looking at it as more of a road trip and might take my road bike as opposed to the Tiger.
Am in the dorm at the event so I didn't have to bother with my camping gear so will be in a motel somewhere in Bendigo.

Edit. Will be taking the Tiger after all so will be open to any type of road surface that gets me there.

Had quick look on WOTIF and there are a few options that are fairly central. I'll book something later this week or on the weekend.

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.
