I thought Paul left in a bit of hurry on Sunday morning - what's that all about?

Seriously though, what a good weekend!! I'm so glad I made it, and no one will ever know the amount of times I nearly turned back on the way up on the Friday night. I'm looking at attending more of these meets - there's one in Northern Ireland on my birthday!!Not sure if double wussies can make it that far!!

Great weekend thanks to Dazzerr, Steve and Craig in particular and the whole bunch in general.

Such a small world where two lots (Watford and Moseley) of people from the same town meet for the first time in this event.

Debseed and Crusty

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.
