Just had a phone call from Ted Magnum. He has broke some ribs and will not be able to come along. Hope this info helps with planning and numbers.

Sorry to be a big girl, but I can't make it as Greenmalishi says...

I've fractured some ribs and can barely breath, let alone ride..

I'm getting too old for all this lunacy... My body is getting fragile

I play football twice a week... Well, I say football... It's more like UFC lol.

I ran full speed into some brick shit house of a guy who thought it would be better to stop me with his elbow than his face lol.

Hi Ted
I recall you missed a previous HU bike meet cos of your footy injuries. Maybe you need to take up a more gentle passtime like macrami or synchronised swimming .

Eh Up Dazco,

I'm not bad matey. Currently out of a job though but got everything crossed for a new position before too long.

I won't ask how you got injured at work, as it could by anything with your past records!

Heel quickly matey.

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.
