It is too far to travel when its not worked into our annual holiday - cant ride home from Hereford after HUBB on the Sunday & get back to work on the Monday. Work = wages = ability to travel.
On the plus side I am on holiday the following week for Ireland.

Amazing news. I am so happy that HU UK meeting is finally back!


I don't think we can make it though as I am still planning to start our next trip early June.


However, if there are any delays (due to work commitment and contract) is the place big enough for late registration (me and Hubby) or are there limits on numbers?


Thinking if we get delayed (my contract may be extended up to 21st June!) we might just attend and then go straight to the ferry terminal and start our trip from there...

Any of the "usual suspects" on here presenting, talking (in the bar doesn't count), demonstrating etc?

It'll probably make the difference whether I go or not

Maria, you have to be there - just think how awesome it would be to get a great sendoff from all your friends at HUBB UK!

Plan accordingly, and the pressure is off and you can relax a bit - we know what it's like preparing to head off; a little extra time helps!

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.
