Keep an eye out for me. Black Vstar 650, black bags, silver Shoei helmet. Haven't finalised my schedule yet, but I will be in Bright by Thursday 13 Feb. Pretty sure I will be in Canberra for a few days and doing a few roads such as Waterfall Way.

A mate and I are heading down on the 11th leaving at sparrows fart. We're just gonna burn down the Pacific Highway so we can be well past Sydney on the same day, and then we'll be ZigZagging through some twisties between mountains and sea all the way to Bright, arriving early Friday morning. Seeya's on the road!

Thanks to all HU volunteers
Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I the film festival. Since then, I've returned home and started back at uni. This semester's subjects are even more interesting than previous, so it kind of sucked me in a fair bit. That's pretty much why its taken me so long to get around to sending you all a thank you note.

If I mention names, I may miss some out and that's the thing I want to do. What I will say id that the HU group basically ran the registration desk and merchandising as well as a range of other things such as filling in AV positions, setting up and packing up as well. The event would not have been the success it was without you all.

The best part though wasn't the help, although that was bloody fantastic. It was getting to catch up with some old friends and meeting/making new friends. Without a doubt there every single volunteer turned out to be helpful and interesting and re-inforced to me why I attend these things. For me, its not the films, although they are great, its the people, you guys and so I say thanks and as we used to say in the RAAF, 'I tip my hat to you'.

Hope to catch up again in the forseeable future.

Regards,

Shane

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.
