I reckon a petition is in order to ensure Austin, Lois and Charlie's film gets the broadcast it rightfully deserves- that was the funniest thing I'd seen in a long time. In fact, the only downside to the weekend was having several cable ties, half a roll of duck tape and a thermatest attached to my leg by the Medic guy- I'd like to say I didn't wince when he got his cable cutters out when he tried to take it all off...well ok, well maybe just a little.
Duct tape..................

Thumbs up
Mike/Denis,
You are, of course, both right. Duct tape is what the stuff is called, but the major brand is 'Duck' tape.
It was great to learn yet another use for the stuff. Up till now I've only ever used it for fixing bikes and kidnapping.
Matt

Hiya everyone

I thought it was another good HU meeting. For some reason it didn't seem as busy as last years. I think this is because the camping was more spaced out.

Thanks to all the presenters and organisers.

Yes, a lot of those in the new field maybe were "spaced out " as you say. It'll have to stop - it's just wrong.

Sorry, no compromises with the facts are possible. I am right, "Duct" it is.

You mean as in, "I duckt when the bloke threw a stone at me?"
Or
He went to the ducktors when he fell off his bike?


And now some useful info for the traveller;

Did you know that in French you don't say "quack quack" as Mike so skilfully demonstrates, but "coin, coin"? If you press your ear to a French duck then you'll hear it quite clearly.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
