Dragon Rally

I have been to the last 2 Dragons, 2008 was cold and dry on a very good site at Beddgelert and 2007 was on Anglesey and very wet overnight making getting out of the site interesting on sunday morning. I used my MZ for these events but this year i will take the Tiger. 2008 photo attached.
Cheers Ade.

I went to this 'Traditional' rally in the early to mid eighties and did an Elefanttreffen also in the early eighties, did another couple of Dragons in the 90's, but no winter rallies since and reading this thread whilst sitting on my laptop in the warm I thought Yeh wouldn't mind doing another, sent off for 2 tickets that arrived today(8th) and with the cold icy weather we are at the moment getting, I am thinking to myself, 'Thanks a lot 'Bronze'(thread starter) I may regret reading your post!.
Anyway, perhaps the hubbers can make themselves known, I will be on a R80gs Kalahari, white, with allit panniers with large 'adventure team 668 pyreknees up Catalunya' sticker on the side of pannier, be nice to say 'hello' safe trip up there guys.

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.
