Thanks to all who made Creel a great week, especially Grant and Arturo.

I had a great time and met loads of jolly nice people who spoiled me rotten.

Yes, quite an adventure, lost riders and all!! I took close to 200 photos of the whole event, some during the search for the Lost Ones, many of the bike retrieval. Many shots of the guests and their bikes (probably yours too!). Don't have the slightest clue of how to download them from Picassa to the HUBB (Help!).

I learned a lot about the bikes, gear and RTW travel. Made some new friends to boot, namely Della, Kelly, Grant and Arturo. Hope to stay in touch with all and track Della and Kelly on their RTW trip.

The old Triumph made it home to Sandy Ego (say it fast) in record time, about 500 miles/day, with a one day stopover in the middle at Bisbee, AZ. Cool town!

Hey, Triman! Was that you we passed and repassed and got gas with in Gomez Farias? I was on a black ST1100 and riding with my parents on a light blue BMW R1100RT.

thanks! and see you next year!

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.



All times are GMT +1. The time now is 18:34.
