Looks like my clutch is on its last legs, its been playing up for a month or so now but its decided to be almost non existent today real problem getting home - unless I get a decent break in the weather to get some work completed - then get payed for the work (Harder than getting a break in the weather). I might struggle to get along - hopefully I can get sorted before the do but will have to see how the money goes !. Jake.

Would love to join you again but I'm now in Melbourne suffering the current heatwave and looking for work.

Have a good one!

Cropton on 1/2 March
Ok, early March seems to be more popular. So let’s go for 1/2 March. I’ll give Cropton a call to book us in. If you don’t want to camp, please call the pub yourself to book your room.

We have:
Me
Harleyrider
AndyG
Iain and Debz
Roger
Brian
Brad/Jake : possible
Fritz and Bev: possible

Any others?

They do brewery tours at 11 and 2, or at other times by prior arrangement. Which is best? Maybe I should ask for something like 4 or 5; that way we can ride first.

Your ever obedient servant,
CB

Smile Breakfast and Tour
Hi
Called and confirmed Fri 29th Feb, Sat 1st March for about 10 camping. The kitchen at the New Inn is open lunch and evenings, but the lady would like to know approx numbers for breakfast (kitchen needs to be open especially).

So who wants breakfast Sat (1/3) and Sun (2/3)?

With ref to a brewery tour, I suggested a special time of 4pm on Saturday. As long as somebody (an employee) is there, they'll show us around.

Your continuingly obedient serf.
Chris

Thumbs up
Dear Surf (I assume your's was a mis-spelling)
If we are here, we'll be there, and will be after breakies both days (can we go as provisional?)
Paul would love to spend some time interrogating you and kicking tyres - sounds ideal.
Hope we can be there (Bev may come up on her own even if I'm away tae the hills).
Many thanks, FyB

Hi Fritz
There may be surfs (and smurfs), but I am a serf
as in:
1.a person in a condition of servitude, required to render services to a lord, commonly attached to the lord's land and transferred with it from one owner to another. 2.a slave.


Who is Paul?

Chris

Aha, Smurf, that's what I was thinking :-0

Turns out we are likely to have to shoot off Sunday (or maybe Sat night) as mother in law's birthday...

I'm coming down for the weekend, but slumming in a B&B due to a kidney infection. See you in the pub Friday - whoever is there.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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

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 14:28.
