Dates....
Just a thought for the future, but putting this either just before or just after the TT might help a few people. If time and distance is an issue, which it must be for lots of us, its easier to do things back to back. I realise you can't keep everyone happy though....

There's all sorts of factors in the date choice, obviously - and for 07 the TT is part of the equation! I'd like to go myself!

If you have not got your ferry ticket for 2007 TT ... well good luck .. think they were all sold before Jan 2006!!!!! You could go a bit earlier and come back a bit later .. and probably at some ungodly hour ... but ... I made my bookings some time ago (months, possibly last year?). Oh accomodation - think that is all gone for 2007 too. Other than camping ... I'm camping. Figure me and the bike could do with a wash after the trip there.
Another date to consider is the BMF rally? Anything else around that time of year?

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.
