Ok i will see if i get any more feed back if not i will go with that date . As the numbers look quite small i will probably put it on at my place as theres less work involed . I will try to comfirm the dates next week as i have to make sure im not working also. Looked at Bill & Becs website & was impressed & am looking forward to hopefully meeting both of you . I see this as more of a small gathering of friends some i know & some i have yet to meet . As its at my place if people want to Sleep in the house then thats ok . If folkes who are coming could let me know like i said theres 3 spair bed rooms 2 doubles & 1 twin plus 2 sofas & the caravan just bring sleeping bags or you can put a tent in the garden . If you can let me how many of you are staying it would also be handy. Or theres always B&Bs .
Cheers Kev

If you took your wife for a romantic weekend in my caravan i think a divorce would be on the cards its not much but its better than a tent (just) i could make up a spare room in the house if you like but if your wife is not into the bike/travel thing in a big way i dont think she would have much fun . But be warned my house is alot like a 80s biker house only without the skulls & jossticks .(NOT POSH)
Cheers Kev

room for someone new?
Hi,
I'm new to going travelling on a bike although not new to seeing the world. currently have a ZX6R and an old Zephyr but that's about to change as a get a Vstrom and go for a monster tour of europe next year.
I live the right side of london to get to Kent...would be nice to meet folk with same interests although I might ask too many questions
Um - no tent - but I'll come on my bike of course. If you go off road then I can sleep of the hangover so no probs there....
Cheers now Olly

Olly your most welcome to come & ask as many questions as you want. It looks like it will be a very small meeting so i might just make it an afternoon & night down the pub unless anyone wants more ? Your welcome to crash at my place just bring a slleeping bag . It dosnt look like we will have hardly any off road bikes turning up also with the current Blue Tongue outbreak not sure which lane might be open so i might put the off roading off to next time unless anyone wants it ? So at the moment it looks like arrive some time Saturday & go home Sunday . Maybe i should call it a micro meet ? If people want to come on Friday then let me know & i will sort somthing .
Cheers Kev

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.
