can it be a gin-and-tonic-fest also ? I read once that port was 'discovered' in the Netherlands, after bringing back wine from Portugal and it upped its strength on the voyage. is that true ?

Hmm. I need to be in London on the 9th, 10th, 17th & 20th of March. Which leaves a gap of exactly the right time-frame. Unfortunately I also need to have the car in London. If I can figure out a way of getting the bike there too (somehow driving the car to Rotterdam would be infinitely less fun) then I'll join you!

obviously, if you don't get the motorbike there you could take a Boris bike for a long weekend away (use someone else credit card to pay for it though!). or, the third muskateer might not be motorbiking due to a gammy knee, so I suspect there may be some sort of train and ferry action.

Well the work on 17th & 20th has now been taken away from me , which potentially gets rid of the car/bike/London scenario, but unfortunately also gets rid of the cash to pay for exotic and, more expensively, fuel to get there
So I will have to pass
Have fun!

Would be nice to be there...
Hi guys,
it would be very nice to be with you... but I am pretty busy working right now... and with my little son Pablo(15 months) I have to work at home too.
But anyway - I wish you a great weekend!!!
Maybe you can join us at the HU Germany Meeting in June?

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.
