w/e in Allenheads
As everyone has already said - great w/e and thenk you Jens for organizing it.
It was exhilarating and one that I shall not forget in a hurry
what I REALLY wanted to say was................thank you all SO MUCH for being a really GREAT bunch of guys (and girls) for being so good at cheering me up when the chips were down.

Especailly Bev who walked with me and kept chatting so that I was unable to.........

Lorenzo - you were a godsend - how I would have managed the trip back to the Inn after we were pushed out of Carlisle NHS trust I do not know - Brian, thank you so much for letting him borrow your car

It was a good w/e and Peter and I have definately decided that two up on his GS is NOT a good idea - off road through bogs:confused1:


Its time that I learned to ride my Serrow but since I have had it I have been under the care of the NHS for one reason or another and now it has to wait a little longer!!!

The good thing is that I now have the rest of the week off (time to write the Christmas cards)

Once again, many many thanks to you all

Looking forward to next time

Sue

Smile next mini meet
Hi all
Great weekend!

So when is the next mini meet?

Anyone got any ideas on where and when?

Jens hows your ankle today? After you picked a fight with the wall, I think that you should maybe get Jake to go and rebuild the wall, as the wall had done nowt to you.
Jens you said that you would like to come to the rally next weekend, here is the number you need to give a call for tickets 01912643506
If you have any problems drop me a pm and I’ll see if I can help to get hold off a ticket for you,

It was certainly an eventful weekend!
My bike finally completed a record it seems proud of... it has now managed to break down on every continent its ever been on. Successfully breaking down in Middle East, Asia, S.E. Asia, Australia, numerous times in North America and now Europe - in my 20th year of ownership. To its credit it really did want to go on the back of the RAC truck, 100 miles from the site and tried to jump off whilst being loaded by the 'good ole boy' from the RAC - broken mirror,scratches etc.
But it was in good company, one bike not making it there at all, another's charging system giving up, mysterious flat tyres, lots of 'offs' and of course THE accident, coupled with Mr Faulty at the pub there was never a dull moment. When's the next one?

Why not!
Just over 1000m (1012m to be exact) round trip, but why not? I'll watch the thread with anticipation.......we're not going on any gentle offroading sections are we?

Roger.

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.
