Reggie, old age and calcified bones require comfort. If I was on my own I would be using the small tent and thermarest carried on the bike. Dotage comes to us all See you for a pint when you land
I've managed to get the time off work..

I'm free from Wednesday until Monday !!

Hi Chizz Angus Rory and others,

I'm coming to Scotland again this year, but in late May and with my GF so it's by car and NO camping. She demands good weather (hates the cold), so I hope you can organise that for us.

I'd love to see you guys again, but we won't get there for the camp though maybe we could catch up with whoever is around (Chizz?) when we stay in Inverness on 29 30 May. I've promised to take her out for the trip up Glen Affric to show her how fantastic it is.

From there we are going up to Talmine on the Kyle of Tongue for a couple of days then tour down the west coast to Tobermory.

Hope the camp goes well (doesn't rain too much)

Seeya Ed

Cheers Angus, sorry for the late message, I work offshore on a raft in the Black sea! Serious - well it's not a raft really, it's a seismic survey vessel.
Anyway, swithering whether to ride up in my Norton Commando ar my BM 1200 Gsa, what is the most popular bike used in this forum.
Cheers.
Jake.

Nice one Ed - the Highlands must have made a good impression on you - to come all the way back for more - hopefully we can catch up at the end of May

Hi Jake

Whatever bike you are happier on ! - personally i would like to see the Norton - used to lust after one of those in my teens - there will be a mix of bikes there - and we will organise rideouts to suit whatever people are on

Look forward to seeing you

Chizz (Bruce)

Saturday ride out
Hi guys does any one know what the ride out will be on Saturday or just as importantly for me and Ted what it won't be? We are there for a few days and don't want to do the same ride out as planned for the Saturday on say the Thursday or Friday.

Thanks in advance, been really looking forward to this for months!

Me and GreenManaleshi have built a huge motorcycle trailer over the last few weeks, and that's what we're dragging the bikes up on.

Towed ceremoniously by a Gold Citroen Berlingo that wouldn't look out of place in Colonel Gadaffis front line... I'm sure Greenmanalishi has got a golden 44 Magnum in the glove box too.

What started out as a drunken 'Back of a fag packet' idea has turned into a £700 bohemoth that has dominated my garage for too long.

We're using it out of pure stubbornness as it was going to be necessary as our girlfriends WERE coming along (who wouldn't fit on the bikes) but then they dropped out like whiney old women leaving us half way through a project build.

It's going to be interesting lol.

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.
