Umm, a silly question, but when is this one on?

I have seen no dates but I may well be in the area after Alaska later on.

Cheers

That would be fun, but I am going to be out of the country before then methinks, my visa runs out about then.

Let do some checking, but at this stage I will be too late,sorry.

Cheers

Well Done Stephen!

Many thanks to Stephen LeBlanc for taking on HU Californina meeting organizer responsibilities. Was a great meet with super location, terrific catering, very good sessions and clinics, and lots of travellers and bike varieties, even very local wine and 'characters'.

If you didn't go you missed a great time.

Thanks Stephen.

Agreed, as we say in Scotland, it was a "Cracker" and well worth travelling to. In keeping with my next destination, muchas gracias Steve, una mas vez. Might not be grammaticaly correct but the thought is there and shared by I am sure, all that attended. On thing though, how on earth did you organise the weather? Ride safe.

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.
