It was my first HU meeting and I must say I already miss it.

Lovely atmosphere, great and friendly people, a stunning location...
The thunderstorm of Saturday night has not been able to spoil this meeting: we had fun, stood with friends from all over the world, enjoyed the pictures and the ride tales in Africa and Mongolia, ate well and drank even better...
Can one ask for more?

Thanks to all the new friends we met there, and to Jens for organizing this event that for me and my girlfriend has already become a must-return for 2011.

For all the ones that were there and for those who could not join us, here below is the link to my online album with the pics of this unforgettable weekend.

Hi, Hans!

I'm glad I met you, at least I know who is the lover (like I am) with that fantastic avatar!

Hope to meet you again on the road.


Take care,
Nick

Terrific meeting. Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make this happen, great weather, magnificent people could not have asked for more . Strolled down to Capovalle from the UK by all the byways in France and across Grimsel Furka and Gothard pass.
The view from my bedroom window (tent) was breathtaking and the storm at night, loved it , sat up and watched the lightning streaks across the mountains . Once again well done and thankyou.

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.
