HU CanWest July 11-14, 2019-DATE-CHANGE!
Horizons Unlimited CanWest Travellers Meeting will be in Nakusp, BC from July 11-14, 2019. Super riding in the area and a very friendly town on a lovely lake. NOTE the earlier date - well before the fire season! We are planning a Mini-HUMM and rideouts, plus riding skills tune-ups and challenges.
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/eve...akuspViews.jpg Join local hosts and RTW motorcycle travellers Ekke Kok and Audrey Allenspach-Kok for a few days of great camaraderie, good food, terrific presentations, and a community of people who don't think you're crazy for wanting to ride to the middle of nowhere. "The presenters were awesome, we even had a Canadian stand up comic (Daryl Makk) who was very funny and many excellent female presenters, Megan, Rosie, Krista and Jenny Morgan to name a few. What a great place to meet other travelers and after a few days hanging out with them feels like I've known them for years, and not to mention catching up with old friends as well. I really enjoyed the hands on workshops including bike ergo's and mods with Grant Johnson and modifying your motorcycle seat with Herman Kovacs. Thanks to Grant and Susan for their tireless efforts and to the hosts, Ekke and Audrey for an amazing event." David (Kiwi Canuck) Registration is open now with early bird rates!

HUMM Nakusp
Does anyone know if the HUMM ride(s) in Nakusp will be doable with a 2-wheel drive Ural/sidecar rig?
Thanks! |
As with all our HUMM Events, we make sure that virtually anyone can ride the events as there is a wide variety of "difficulty levels". Level one, is a good quality graded gravel road. Any family sedan can do it without any difficulty, and a Gold Wing could do it too. Level two is more difficult, and the Gold Wing could be in trouble. Level 5 is experts only on a multi cylinder adventure bike, or very good riders on a dual sport single.
YOU CHOOSE WHICH TAGS you want to go for. There are more tags than is remotely possible to get to. Last year I think the highest number of tags collected was about HALF what was available for the full HUMM. For the Mini-HUMM, no one will get them all or even close. Most are in the 1-3 range, with a couple of 4's and 5's for the hard core. MOSTLY it's about navigation! You'll be fine on the Ural up to 3 easily, MAYBE a 4 - but there is single track on some 4's and 5's. Hope that helps! |
