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.

Hi guys,

sorry that I answer so late... but I stayed till friday in Italy!

All the area around our Meeting spot is so nice, so I had to spend a couple of more days at Lake Idro(with Cristina and Pablito).

Thanks again for a great Meeting and for sharing your pictures - it was a great time!

The area is so nice! We crossed the border to Germany and it started raining...

jens, you marked my map for me to see the verdon gorge ( grand canyon ), it was great, i stayed two days there in a campsite and met a ex biker who was in a camper van (howard) he was a nice guy, we toured around the passes in the alps,switzerland and parted in germany. ( thanks howard if you read this )

thanks jens and michael for lowering the xt for me, it made for a better ride, hope to meet you both along the road, take care.

denny.

Hi everyone

What a great weekend, I did not know what to expect but it ended up being one of the highlights of my stay in europe. Thanks to Micheal, Jens and all of the really cool people we met.
Just remember i will be home in NZ in December so any of you that have my address you must come by for a cold . (you must give me at least an hours notice to get the cold)

All Good

Cheers Miles, Manuela

Nice pics Steve. A good reminder of what a fantastic time we had. I;ve got a few pics to post but I'm on my way to Eastern Turkey at the moment so it will have to wait until I get back.

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.
