Just checking in, not staying at Dakar motors and my liver is still happy! We did visit them, and they are great people! Will be in ba until we catch a bus back to our truck on Sunday.

It's the Judge!
How the devil are you?
It seems a lifetime ago that we toured BsAs together and you imparted knowledge and maps. The political scene is building up a head of steam here now though). I have been doing the same thing, in reverse, this time around. It is a great feeling to have finished what was a wonderful tour but a bit sad that it is over.
Do you have plans to come back down here or is life too good back in the USA?
Cheers
Delb

Delbert. I am going to more permanently retire in 2014 and fly and ferry from Korea to Russia and then ride to Europe. I figure the same 800 GS can get me there. Dave

I will be at the airport at 10:30 but I just don't know how long it will take to do the paperwork - minimum 2 hours but could be so much longer!
I think it may be better to make it Thursday if you are still around

Hi are you still here? I forgot to check Hubb the last few days.
I am around this afternoon if you fancy meeting up. I have bumped in to Otto so he and I may have lunch somewhere.
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.
