Beej I have booked in for the Friday and will probably stay Saturday as well depending on how well I am feeling. It will be great to see everyone and even better to get under canvas again after what seems like a long haul of not being on the road. Jake.

Jake (Adventure950) - Yay! It'll be great to see you on the bike again! You've made me smile!

Dave08 - All are welcome... the more the merrier! Just call the campsite on 01337 857 749 to book your place and let us know when to expect you!

Looks like we are going to have a good bunch of people... all we need now is some nice and sunshine... ! Here's hoping!

Dave.

Gi me a shout and I will hook up wi you on way up the road. Good news you managed to get away. No prob for me to cut over to Carter Bar on the A68 to meet up. All we need now is some good weather.

Weather man says light showers all next weekend if anyone interested. They have been known to tell fibs though. I will be heading up during the day on Friday hope to be up their in time for mid afternoon. However - strong winds will put me off as I wont be able to ride in them as that really affects my neck/ back injury so hope the wind keeps at bay. Looking forward to catching up with everyone. Jake.

Beej - Chris, my back and shoulder / neck are playing up bad again and I am having a lot of pain, i am also now advised not to ride a bike by the neurosurgeon as this could be quite dangerous to my long term prognosis and I am not due surgery for a year and even then the out come may not allow me to ride again. As a result I will not be able to attend the meeting and am in fact just going to sell up the bike (take away the temptation and move on a bit) until I can get sorted one way or the other with these health issues i currently have - so maybe a year down the road I may be in a better position - but for current time certainly and maybe for good - me, motorbikes and travelling are parting company. Catch up some time Best wishes to all have a good meeting Jake.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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

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.
