Exclamation 1st HU Meeting Germany - only 1 more month!!! Who is coming???
Hi guys,

only 1 more month to the 1st HU Meeting in Germany!

We already got a lot of registrations, but I know as closer we get to the event, we will get more people...Please everybody should register - 1 registration per person - Thank you!

We don´t the guesthouse to have problems with their food and drinks planning.....

Imagine we would sit in the sun without a cold - and that in Germany!

So, who is coming??? We already have people from Germany, Netherlands, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Austria, Australia and even Canada! I heard from an Argentinian guy too....

See you end of may!

Well I'm coming and although I'm Scottish I don't drink . So make sure there's a plentiful supply of cola

Yes I know, it's a rare sight to see a Scotsman who doesn't drink alcohol

Cool
Thanks goodness Jens didn't use more than 3 exclamation marks per sentence
“And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.”
„Hast Du die ganzen Ausrufezeichen bemerkt? Fünf? Ein sicheres Zeichen für jemanden, der seine Unterhose auf dem Kopf trägt.“

Jim, German is not like the crap you get at home! It's made according to a purity law. I too gave up after the swill I was offered in Scotland, until I got hold of German ! In fact you can't sell British pish in Germany - it's illegal.

PSI know several Scots who don't drink alchohol.......

I will be ther. At the moment I am in the south of France getting a bit wet. I signed up for Tintaldra but couldn't make it as my bike shipment was brought forward. But I'll put in my order for good weather now.

See you there

Kenny

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

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
