Hi all,
Looks like we won't make it to the meet. Customs delays mean I may get my bike on Friday afternoon, but more likely not till Monday. I am starting to get impatient, bike is on the docks but I cant get it.... grrrrr.
Have a great time at the pub.

A quick note,
It's Whitby Goth weekend.
This is bad if you want to pop into Whitby for a quick Fish and Chips as the place will be busy.
Good if you fancy a run down and soak up some of the atmosphere, before heading home.
May be of use to someone!
Regards, Phil

Just a quickie to say thanks for arranging this meet, and the pretty good weather.
I had a great ride there and back to a part of the country I'd never been to before. A H.U. meeting was just the excuse I needed.
The was a bit tasty though.
Cheers Guys, see you again at Ripley.

Northern Mini Weekend
Can't email anyone as I have not enough posts.
Please email me so that I can send photographs, not that they are any good but they are a record.

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.
