Let those who ride decide
Thats me + 1 booked for my first HU event  .. I will be arriving on my new RTW KLR 650..(1990 vintage just new to me) her build is nearly complete..
If any peeps need a ride to and from the event starting out from Lincoln drop me a line. I have two machines, (Sisters) with the intention of having multiple travellers flying in and out during the RTW on bike two. Sounds complicated I know. But if you need a bike to get you too and from the event the offers there, you just pay fuel…

Great stuff. Looking forward to meeting you. Very cool offer too! Wonder who will take you up on it.
Hunt out Graham Field when you are at the HUBB UK. Both of you are fans of the KLR 650s

One of the things we'll be doing over the next weeks is introducing the various Exhibitors who are going to be joining us at the HUBB UK.
Some, you'll know very well, some will be new to you. All are coming so you have the chance to get to know them and what they do rather better than you can when you see them at more usual mainstream shows.  There's no time to really talk at those is there.
Have a look at the HUBB UK page and you'll see the full range of companies.
All specialise in either supplying overland and long distance touring kit, or helping those who aren't so lucky as to be able to hit the long road (yet)  to experience some amazing parts of the world.

Who are Stahlkoffer? They tell us:
We have now been in existence for seven years. We manufacture bespoke motorcycle luggage for the global adventurer.
Our panniers (manufactured in the West Midlands) can be tailor-made to our customers specifications and are manufactured to the highest standards using 2mm aluminium, powder-coated inside and out. Our latest design means panniers are “quick-release” and the mounting system is simple but extremely robust and efficient.
Not only do we make panniers but also roll-bags, tail-bags, crash bars, engine protectors and side-stand extenders as well as many other accessories too many to mention.
Everything is sourced wherever possible in the West Midlands and we do not buy anything in from China or the Far East. - thereby promoting the saying “local jobs for local people”.
All our products are functional in design and pitched at the right price.
Please check out our website for further details (StahlKoffer Motorcycle Panniers)

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.
