Yes Yes yes

Oh my god I'm so excited. I read about this event earlier in the year and even booked leave to go on my first ever adventure trip. However I then lost track of what was happening with it and thought it had been cancelled. Now I am over the moon to see it's all going ahead and I will surely be there. Can't wait...........when can we start to book?

Am I on the wrong thread for this event?

I have booked a place for the event and I am surprised not to see any other comments here. Is it me getting over excited or am I in the wrong place to read more about who's going etc?

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.
