2nd Northern Mini Meet? Late September/Early Oct?

Ladies and gents
Anyone up for this? The meet at Blakey in April was great. Anyone interested in doing the same (location?) or similar? I am away all summer and busy in early September.

Earliest I could do is 16/17 or 23/24 September, or first weekend in October. How does this fit in with you? Brad, if it was again at Blakey, are you able to go/organise things with the landlord?

Ride safely,
ChrisB

Chris, I can never refuse a meet up, have just got back from a run out in Norway - superb weather instead of the usual rain. I also will be unavailable again for most of aug and maybe some of september, But late september sounds good. If I can I will start to sort it out in september depending on the interest shown ! Brad.

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.
