Maya arrived yesterday!
Just got a call from the trucking company delivering Maya, the truck shat itself 2 miles from where we are
Waiting on another call to either pick her up or they may be getting another truck ... as Bevan said, if we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all
J u s t w a n t t o g e t h e r h e r e..........
She finally arrived ......sort of, she got within 2 miles of here then the truck shat itself and was towed 4o miles away :cry
So we chased across town to get her .... finally tracked her down.
Good clean tomorrow and sort out the stuff we do and don't wan't.
Crammed in
Getting freed
She is tall!!!
Off we go
Bit of cheek off dancing going on set up at full height!!
So we have her home, she needs a good bath to tomorrow will be full TLC day.
F i n a l l y we can start to go forward :clap

Heya Grif & Lisa, it is only about 12 -14 deg C here in Phoenix ... still a bit warmer than you though, dropping to 2 degs at night.
Good you bought Sammy in, you don't want her radiator to freeze eh
That lovely KTM has a wee guts ache and is off to the shop tomorrow hopefully for only minor surgery but we won't know until the doctor opens her up ... not good

Heya Sara
At this rate we won't be out of Phoenix until this time next week so we are miles behind, we got taken for a ride on the bike we bought so many hours of repairs and a fair stack of money.
Not good at all, from a fello ADVer as well, we were ripped.

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.
