Highland Mini Meet

Hi Folks

Angus and I have just got our heads together to set a date for Highland Mini Meet, and have decided on weekend beginning Friday 13th May.

All welcome - very informal just a few tents pitched at Cannich Campsite and probably a ride out on the Saturday. We haven't fine tuned the details yet but if we have reasonable numbers we will have a small buffet in the pub - same as last year.(but hopefully without the rain!).

Chizz

Bruce and Angus

Hi Chizz, I would love to come along, Bilge will be resplendent in her new paintwork (about to be done) and the engine / gearbox rebuild has released 65 horses of the apocalypse from her bowels that are just waiting to be unleashed on a trip somewhere - anywhere ! but afraid I doubt I will make it as I have already booked a weekend away in Wales two weeks later - and at the moment finances won't stretch to both do's at the moment with other stuff going on - but If some pennies drop on my lap in the meantime I will try to pop along. Be ok to turn up on the day I suppose. The last one was an excellent do so it would be a shame to miss out. Jake.

Been waiting for notification for this mini event. The date has been noted, it may be a case of joining you on the Saturday, this having to work is a total pain in the a@@ but hey ho needs must.
We have 1 bike ready to go the other is in a multitude of bits & pieces but when it gets rebuilt fingers crossed it wont need a push start.
If all else fails we will be there for the food and maybe a few s.

Liz n Mike

Highland Mini Meet

Thanks for the early replies -

It would be good to meet with you Ted - I have read many of your posts over the last few years - I am sure you have lots of tales to tell.

Hi Palamie (Kev) - hope to see you there - you are virtually on our doorstep !

Rob - it would be great to see you again - promise not to take you to Ullapool in the pouring rain this time!

Rory - I knew you would not miss the chance of a night (or two ) in the pub

Dougie - I am sure Angus can guarantee the venison supply!

Jake - Hope you get lucky with some money we would love to see you up here again - hows the back?

Liz and Mike - Look forward to seeing you again - especially once you have that starter switch sorted.

Put the word out folks - the more the merrier

Chiizz (Bruce)

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.
