Ace Cafe Overland Adventure Tour Bike Day, Sun 21st Feb 2010
There's another Overland Adventure Tour Bike Day at the Ace Cafe on Sunday 21st February. From 9 to 5. Are you going? Last year's event was excellent.

Last years was a very good enjoyable day. I bought so many books I'm still reading them!
Sadly I'll be in France on the 21st so I can't get there this time. Hopefully a few people will post pics / do write up.

See you there-and recommended good day out to all

Hi

I'm planning to be there, and it looks as if its going to be an owner's club ride out as there a bunch who say they up it.

Guess the bike ?

(There may be cake if you guess right)

For the second year running I'll be away touring. Pity.

Wrong, wrong & wrong. No where near as exotic or impractical as that I'm afraid.

Hint : I was at Ripley 2009 and I believe the only one there.

Are those on 4 wheels (or who did their trips on 4 wheels) eligible for these Ace Cafe meetups?

Yes, why not. The only issue is parking. Their carpark will be full of bikes. I parked my van in the street last year.
cheers

Is there plenty of room in the street for the not so small 4 wheelers?!

This isn't a HU event. For all details, please visit the Ace Cafe website.

I believe Grant and Susan, Austin Vince and Lois Pryce, Touratech amongst others will have a presence. Last year there were talks by Austin, Simon Gandolfi (and others? I can't remember). Austin, HU and Sam Manicom had stands selling books and dvds, the carpark was full of bikes and people stood around and chatted.

This year: Probably similar.

HTH

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.
