Belgium Meeting 2006
Anyone going here ???
I am going with my Defender, it would be nice to see some other 4x4's.
Any oversea visitors looking for simply accomodation for wednesday (or sunday) night give me a shout, got some space available at my home (belgiumborder).
Regards Derek-Jan

Total registrations is at 91 at the moment, and we always have at least 10% just arrive without registering.
So it's going to be goood! We have LOADS of presentations lined up, the bonfire will be on, cool rideouts, some of that famous French/Belgian cuisine is on the cooker, and the venue is awesome!
See you there!

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.
