HU Germany Summer Meeting 14-17 May 2015
We are pleased to announce the 14th HU Germany meeting will be held 14-17 May 2015 in a great new location - Campingplatz Pfrimmtal is located 35 km west of the Rhine river, about 50 km south of Mainz, just at the entrance of one of the best riding areas of Germany - the Pfälzer Wald! A proper campground with great facilities - even showers! Jens Ruprecht is hosting this event.
Full details and Registration open now!
See the pics from the Autumn 2014 meeting here!
Call for Presenters! We're all here to learn, and there's LOTS to learn! We want to do more presentations and seminars - but we need volunteers to give them! Any topic you can contribute having to do with motorcycle travel, maintenance, planning etc, lasting 20 minutes or more, would be great. Please sign up here.

English Presentations
How many of the presentations are likely to be in English and are you looking for any English speakers?
My plans to return to the USA are on hold so I am looking for some European events to attend instead

Hoping English is OK.
I filled out the presenter form a couple of days ago. I offered to do one presentation on riding to Alaska through Canada and another on riding to South America from North America. I am hoping English is OK. I have done these at HU California 2013 and the MOA National. If you want any more info please PM me. Also, Susan has info and pictures for the previous presentations. Looking forward to this event. Dave Rankine

Happy New Year 2015!!! Welcome to HU Germany!
Hi guys out there,
Welcome to another great HU Germany Meeting!
Last Fall we had tried out our new location - and everybody loved it!
Campingplatz Pfrimmtal in Sippersfeld - what a great spot...
Ideal also for families, don´t worry - bring your kids too.
Great fire at night, nice walks through the forest or perfect motorcycle roads around, like the the famous "Johanniskreuz"!
Presenters are always welcome - Presentations in English are totally okay!
Don´t be shy - we also need some workshops too.
For example:
- First Aid
- Outdoor Cooking(Roadkill???)
- Mechanics
- GPS
- Foto?
- Movies? Like Gopros etc.
- Blogs?
Hope to see you soon - Jens and Family

Hey folks,
I am planning to come, but 55-65€ is quite some money. I have never been to a HU-meeting before, could you please explain the costs to me?
30€ for camping, alright, but what are the remaining 25 - 35€ for?
Thanks!

Hi Jens,
I am quite keen to come to the HU meeting and was thinking even of presenting this time. I've never done it before but I might run a topic or two by you, see if it's of interest.
Thing is, my boyfriend and I set off on our travels a year ago and are currently in India, returning to Bulgaria end of March to then sort out our bikes. We've had a few problems and are thinking to return to Berlin to sort them out. If all goes to plan, we will be in Germany in May. (And then we would definitely come to the meet.)
But as nothing is completely certain now, I was wondering what the deadline is for signing up to present? After all you have to plan and schedule it all.... (And I don't want to sign up and then have to cancel.)
Let me know!
Maria

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.
