Its for pre 1980 bikes, but is definatly worth a look if you're passing on the way to Moto Andalucia, or just need an excuse to extend your stay.

I've taken a good look at the webpage for the Colombres bike meeting; Bienvenido a la Web del Moto Club Pistón
As stated here, it kicks off on a Thurs, ending on the Sunday.
So, when do people travel there is my question - how far in advance basically?
Also, any recommendations for local camp sites would be of interest.
Thanks,

Just a reminder folks that if you haven't filled out the form on the website and you're coming next week, can you let me know. I need to confirm the pitches at the camp site this weekend.
The weather forecast is looking good - at 400 metres altitude, the temperature today at 2.20pm is 25C in the shade and night temps are around 10C.

We had a fantastic weekend and waved the 'last of the few' off into the sunrise this morning - I had tears in my eyes!!
My all too clever hubby has adapted a neat piece of code where my Picasa web albums are automatically loaded into the Moto Andalucia and Smokin` Lizard websites on the Gallery pages.
I've not got around to putting captions on the photos - too knackered as yet and need to sleep!!! I'll get around to it later this week.
My sincerest thanks to Tim Cullis and Hans (aka Vaufi) for their fantastic and inspiring presentations - we can't wait for our trip to Morocco next year!! And to everybody else, thank you for your support and see you in 2008.

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.
