Hello Simon,
Yep, it is cold but at least we are heading toward spring now, so it can only get better.
I think that a post about your up to date experience of bringing a foreign registered bike into the UK would be of great interest.
It has struck me that the nature of shipping is very non-geographic, so it would be relevant in, say, "trip transport or planning" - Grimaldi seem to get to a lot of places.

I like those tyres in the container in your pic, BTW: do those fit your bike or are you bringing them into the UK for some other use??!


Cheers,

There were some on one of the docks when I came Grimaldi in November. They're for the 300 ton ore carrying dumper trucks at Chuquicamata copper mine.

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.
