1st HU GERMANY OFF ROAD TRAINING FOR TRAVELLERS 27.5.-29.5.2014

Hello guys out there - we have GOOD NEWS:

after a lot of talks at our HU Germany Meetings about how to ride a travel bike through bad roads, gravel, sand... finally we arranged the

"1st HU GERMANY OFF ROAD TRAINING FOR TRAVELLERS"

Date: 27.-29.5.2014


The Training is designed for beginners and advanced Offroad Riders, don´t be scared. Everybody participates on his own bike, it doesn´t matter what... ideal would be the bike you normally travel with... even a Vespa is okay!

Who is interested?

It will take place in the Black Forest Area, we found a good partner who has a lot of experience with Offroad Trainings.

Details at http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/eve...for-travellers

Hope to see you there!

Jens

Yellow truck - of course I remember!

I think your Scrambler is perfect for the training, anyway - it is alon gyour route to the Meeting, close to Kenzingen, Black Forest.

You are welcome there too, it doesn´t matter a visitor or participant!

See you - Jens

Why during the week - here the idea:

Hi guys,

a lot of people ask why we organized this training during the week...

The training will be from tuesday evening till thuresday morning.

Training day is wednesday, incl. 2 overnights(dinner and breakfast)

Thursday morning all participants can ride together to the HU Germany Meeting - so it is like a short vacation!

Hope to see you there, I still have to make my bike running...

Maybe I will take a Vespa!

Jens

Registration for Training needed...

Hi guys,

for the training you have to register - because we have to arrange everything.

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/eve...for-travellers

NOTE: You MUST register for the HU Germany Meeting FIRST here

It is not like the Meeting where you just can show up...

Please send me a message if you want to participate - thank you.

We need at least 10 people.

If you have any questions, please don´t hesitate to ask.

See you there - Jens

More participants needed... please register soon

Hi guys out there,

last year at the Meeting nearly everybody wanted to sign up for the training and now.... where are you?

We found a great partner and we heard only good things about the terrain.

Yesterday I spoke to somebody who participated in a training there and she loved it.

So - if you have any questions - please don´t hesitate to contact me.

It will be fun!

See you soon - Jens

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.
