I´ve been down with a stinky cold - which has seen me just crashing out each evening, so this update is running a bit late. I really must give my lid a clean too!! Having a break for a few days, so will catch up with posts soon.

Too late - I´m already back into the desert landscape. Parts of south Texas look a lot like parts of Patagonia!
Hope things are well with you - and that your arm is now fully recovered from the fall.
Cheers

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.
