Cheers
Jörn (looking forward to the summer meeting)
This would be a good subject to do a round table discussion on, much easier than putting together a big formal presentation. Several people could do 5 minutes each on their experiences, then discuss. Could even do it as a series of "Pecha Kucha" presentations - 20 slides, 20 seconds each, done. Then discuss.

Thanks, Grant.
Initially I thought the set up in Germany would be similar to the Iron Horse Campground in North Carolina where everyone is staying in the same place. That's why I assumed 'Zur Schneeburg' would also rent rooms.
I am sure I will find something suitable.

maps vs. electronics
hola el aleman
orientation came to my mind as a workshop/open discussion .would be a usefull theme for all.
paper and/or electronics
what maps or what navigation systems.
where to buy/order maps.
where to find cheap/free software,how to install.
if i can make it would be able to say something about maps,still not using any of the electronic gadgets can't obviously say anything about it.
all the best geri

No worries, presentations, workshops, etc. are usually held in English as well.

First Aid Course at the meeting - Saturday - Confirmed!
Hi guys,

We proudly confirm our

--- First Aid Course for motorcyclists ---

It will be on Saturday around 10 - 12 AM.

We got one person from the ASB (Arbeiter Samariter Bund),

very well known in Germany, similar to the Red Cross. I won´t be a official Course, that means no papers for nobody, but the person who runs it, also runs official courses, that means he gives very good and updated information.

And - it is for free!

What do you think?

Kind regards - Jens

See you soon!

Only 4 more weeks - summer is coming!
Hi guys,

just a quick note from good old Germany - Summer has arrived!

Yesterday we had around 25 degrees here - plenty of motorcycles on the road - isn´t it great?

Slide shows and workshops are still welcome!

Please try to register for the Meeting, so at least we get an idea how much people are coming... thank you.

See you all soon - Jens

I am very frustrated. For two weeks I have been trying to find accommodation. Everywhere I call I get the same message "sorry, it's a long weekend, we are fully booked".
Looks like we have to bail out and try for another meeting.

A Tent could be an option...

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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.



All times are GMT +1. The time now is 16:55.
