NW Africa and KTM LC4 PreparationBreakout
I was originally scheduled to give a chat to all on my trips to NW Africa at the 2005 UK meeting, but due to personal reasons I can no longer do this.

However, I will give a 'breakout' chat/Q and A session on this popular destination if there's enough interest.

Similarly I also get a few enquiries on preparing LC4s/LC4 Adventures for overlanding - so if there's enough interest I'll do a chat/Q and A session on this - including how to do an oil change in 15mins if I've got to the requisite mileage by the time I attend the meeting.

I'd like to gauge interest so I know what to bring. If you're interested please reply to this post or send me an e-mail stating what you're interested in (NW Africa or LC4s).

The sessions will probably be on Saturday or Sunday morning.

Cheers,

Ian.

Do we have to choose or can we have both?

If its a choice the 15 min oil change gets it for me!!!

It's not a choice - both if enough interest.

Thinking about it the oil change will have to wait - nowhere to dispose of the waste oil. But it all comes down to having a syringe and practice.

The NW Africa chat will take place on the Saturday around 1000. I'd like to do it outside weather permitting. I'll bring a few maps and pics. Hopefully it won't last more than an hour or so - I'm on the rideout at 1200.

I won't bother doing the LC4 thing - not enough interest - but if anyone's any questions etc. there's a few LC4ers there.

Cheers.

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.
