Canada West HU Travelers Meeting August 6-9 2010
The Eighth Annual Canada West HU Travellers Meeting will be held in Nakusp, BC, August 6-9, 2009
Registration is open here
Ekke and Audrey Kok have put a lot of work into organising a location, food and all the rest of it, and it's going to be fantastic! A great chance to get in some new and exciting rides in the surrounding mountains. This is seriously some of the best  country in the world! You'll love it!
We have quite a few great presentations lined up already, but if you'd like to put on a presentation for us, whether it's about your trip, or any technical subject that would be of interest, please let me know here. We're always looking for new subjects and presentations, and we'd love to have you!
I look forward to seeing you there!
Grant

I'm hoping to ride yup and attend this event. Depends on work deadlines
and which bike I bring.
Debating whether to ride up on my DRZ400 or Speed Triple. The Triumph
probably needs a service first and the DRZ has Avon Distanzias, not
knobbies.
Thanks, Don

Hi Don,
I don't the think the ride outs will be super technical so the DRZ on Distanzias should be fine. The Speed Triple would be fantastic on the pavement though. Tough choice!

Schedule?
Is there a plan for what day/time various topics (e.g., trailside or flat repair) will be covered?
Watching the Achievable Dream volume 1 in the evening these days...

No finalised agenda yet Don but typically we've run Thursday evenings pretty informally (maybe a movie or just talk) then Friday a ride out and a tech session in the afternoon with slideshows that evening. Saturday would again have a ride out and tech sessions in the afternoon and slideshows in the evening.

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.
