Me and Mark would love to come back to Germany this year, we met some really nice guys there last year BUT we will be on our round world trip - we are setting out on 1st April so we will miss all the fun.

If anyone in the UK is thinking of going then I would recommend it - really nice location and friendly folks too.

Hi,
Just wondering when the registration will open. The date fits in with my plans to leisurely travel Europe. I have put in for early retirement, to leave work in May. It would be good to meet worldly wise travellers so that I can develop further plans to pass the years of leisure and debauchery that await me!!!! I plan to be travelling June thru to August in Europe, after that, who knows??

Won't make it to the summer meeting this year since I'll be in Romania with PeerG and another buddy of his around this time, riding the EnduRomania. Might make it to the fall meeting again, probably straight from the Tunis - Genova ferry to Ober-Liebersbach

Maybe I'll manage to put on a slideshow on the ferry, we're planning to spend an entire month in Tunesia this year despite the current political situation. That is if it doesn't get worse, but I'm very optimistic that it'll get better until late September.

Hi guys, just wanted to say hello from Rio Gallegos - Patagonia!

Weather is great and we already met a lot of other bikers. In Puerto Natales I stumbled into Adam, maybe you remember him from our last Meeting...

He rides a HP 2 around the world - great guy!

Hope to see you soon, I have one more week over here...

Saludos - Jens

All the details are there, though the presenters list isn't quite right yet, but Jens is working on that.

We're also pleased to announce that due to a new supplier, we are able to lower the prices on the Synthetic t-shirts!

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.
