Life keeps on getting in the way. My wife suffered a TIA in June. Fortunately, she recovered completely. But it changed our entire summer's plans. She is already back in school teaching her last 3rd grade class before retiring. I'm sticking close to make sure she continues to do well. Perhaps we can make it next year.

Have fun everyone and please, please post some pictures here so I can see what I missed.

Thank you Susan, Grant, all organizers, presenters and volunteers. You are my tribe and I love you all. It's been another great event and I can't wait for 2017 ...unless I'm travelling somewhere exciting

PS: passing a CVSE vehicle in BC at 140km/h is a bad idea

RJ, yeah, it's me. Based on Susan's advice that I'd have to camp in a "special area" I decided to take a pass. I've been to other rallies that shunt you off to a "special area" and it's not the kind of experience I wanted for my first HU rally. Or any rally for that matter. If in your future travels you should happen across a HU rally that welcomes guys with dogs, hit me up on ADV (not here as I don't really monitor this forum.) I'm still interested in going to one.

Mad Englishmen
Susan, after 2 HUBB UK and HUMM in Morocoo its time I came over to your neck of the woods to see how you do it over the pond! So, I'll be riding most of the Trans Canada Highway, picking up a buddy near Portland and heading to Nakusp via (?!) Prudhoe Bay in time for the meet. We will be bringing some proper English tea, but for obvious reasons we won't be pre-booking our tickets but hope you'll let us come in and join you?!

Hello all this will be my first meeting as well, I'm bring my girlfriend along. We both don't currently have bikes or bike licences but I'm sure it will be an amazing time.
I asked on the FB page about booking camping and due to a delay in response ended up booking 3 days of camping followed by 3 days of rv camping, I was wondering if there a way to get my 3 day camping refund.
As we will be in a truck and travel trailer (were off work for a month traveling bc and the rockies).
I've been slowly doing research and planning a trip on a DR650SE to south america and hopefully will buy bikes next year, take a year to gear them up and get her used to riding before we take off the following year.
Can't wait to see all the bikes, learn lots, hear the travel stories, gain knowledge and see ALEX!

My first rally!
Looking forward to the event, meeting some cool people and learning some tips. I've got a lot of experience traveling in South America and SE Asia if anyone is planning travels there.

Does anyone know where can I find a full schedule(times etc.)? Also interested in the riding clinics on Sat, if anyone the info for that.

Hi Susan/Grant, further to my last message, Rich and I are on track to pass through Nakusp on our way south having been to Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay). We've had to adjust our schedule so are planning to drop in for Thursday night only. Grant advised Rich that you have enough presenters so we cant sing for our supper and we're unable to work out whether we can pay just for one night as the website says ' its too late for pre-payment, just turn up - there's space available', or something like that, so that's what we're going to do in the hope you can put us up for the night!!

See you later this week.
Mark

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.
