Hello,

I had planned to join the meeting but in the end I will load the bike on the railway on friday to go to Hamburg and then take the ferry in Kiel for Klaipeda.
So Sunday I will be in the baltic states and go further up round north for 5 weeks.

I hope that the sun will join the meeting also....

See you
Sven

It also worries me quite a lot who's going to take care of RENATO aka MONTEBIANCO. His a very good guy, but he always has big problems pitching his tent. If I'm not there, who's going to help him??? You know, he rides a BMW. I hope Jörn or Pamploniko will do it (Pam, we'll meet next time!).



If that's the case, maybe this was not the meeting for us, since we need proper accomodation with the baby, not a tent. Not even one of those huge tents where you can park your bike inside to protect it from malarial mosquito bites.

I cross fingers, maybe something changes and we can go. In any case, wish you the best time there, my warmest greetings for all of you I know, as well as all the others I hope to meet any other time who are now fortunate to attend such a great meeting (Jens, thanks again, gracias amigo!).

Happy travels,

Esteban, Isa & baby Ines


Hola Esteban § Isabel
Glad to see you can pitch your tend so good that now you can help others guys. (povecitos como van a dormir...)
wel we are really so sorry no to come this time . But you know there are things SOO important too. We will married at the end off june and there are so many things to do yet.. It is not soo easy to take your bike and go to H.U meeting when you feel a gun right in your back (ssss Liced is listening...)
Some times a man have to choose....
But don t whorry next meeting we will be there.

We send our best kisses to Ines.
Liced Y Renato.

Hello Jens.
Just get home,a few hours ago.
It did not rain all the 460 km ride home,there was a dry spot of 2,7 km,
and that was the tunnel just when I left Ober-liebersbach. For the rest it was all wet,but it was a GREAT meeting,saw nice slideshows,met people again after 2 years,last seen them in Port Augusta South-Australia,and now again at the meeting.Wished a Belgian V-Strom rider a good trip to India,ans saw a lot of well known people again.
See you next time(maybe in October)
Thanks.
Chris.

Back home

We have also arrived back home, though completly soaked.

Anyway, we want to thank Jens and his fellow helpers for organizing this meeting and all the others for contributing. We had so much great input for our future travels.

It was really helpful and we are looking forward to visiting the next Hubb Meeting.

@ Seppel: Would you mind, if I steal some of your Photos and put them on my website?

Damm - I did plan to go - but then for various reasons couldn't make it - would have loved so though ...

Is there a Meeting for October planned? (read something above here)

Would have also loved to see Donato and Esteban & Isabella - think you are the guys I met in India back in 2010 .... still remember this vacation pretty well.

You can't do everything in live - but I enjoy the moments I can do - and hope for some other meetings.

Cheers,
Uli

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.

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.
