Official answer!
We have always, from the very beginning, supported other events. That's why this particular forum is entitled 'Motorcycle Events around the world' as distinct from HU events. The whole concept of HU is community, travelers helping travelers. For example, we've known Austin and Lois for a long time, we've collaborated with them on projects (Achievable Dream project) and events (HUMM Pyrenees) and are happy to see them succeed with the ATFF.
For info, we also cross-promote with the ATFF - we hand out their flyers at our events and vice versa.
We also appreciate Farquhar's concern, we do depend on income from events to pay the rent and feed ourselves, plus keep the website and HUBB running! We're not apologizing for that, nor are we deliberately non-profit...
Hope that helps to clarify our position!
