Hi Matt,
There is still a handful of places left.
You can turn up on the day and pay.
If you're reading this on Wednesday (only) then please register first on the website.
See you soon

Hi Mike,
I won't be leaving till about 11am but if that suits you then it would be good to hook up and ride down together. Let me know if this fits in with your plans.
Matt

Hi Shells,
The beard has gone I'm afraid! It was getting too close to ZZ Top to stay! See you there, I'll be on my tatty XT with Acerbis tank PO54 VRG and holding out my hand for that ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) !

Matt - 11ish would fit right in with my normal early morning organisational skills. What route are you thinking of taking (A1 or M6), I reckon will probably take about 5-6hours depending on number of coffee breaks etc.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,
Excellent, I agree with your timing, 5 or 6 hours including breaks etc. The M6 might be quicker but I seem to remember the A1 is a better road for bikes? I am actually coming through from Dunblane 'oop north' so I can either meet you at your house or some other convenient spot.
Matt

Surely you're not going to miss out on the lovely A68from Edinburgh, through Jedburgh towards Scotch Corner.

Yep, and all those lovely speed cameras!

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.
