Pillion Required to Viedma Meetup
Hi All,
I recently found out that I won't be able to access my bike until the 12th December even though I am arriving in Buenos Aires on the 1st December
I was wondering if anyone out there would consider pillioning me from BA to Viedma for the meet up? I can offer you fame and fortune of being profiled on my blog which is read by all of at least 10 of my friends and 2 members of my family ( www.argentina2alaska.co.uk).
I can always take the bus back. I could even take the bus to the meet up but as I am slightly nervous about initially biking in SA it would be great to get some on the road experience as a pillion before I head off on my own adventure.
Cheers,
Annette

I can be your backup option
Hi Annete,
Make it 10 friends, 2 family, and numerous lurkers reading ur website of which I am one of them.
Quick background, I am in Guatemala atm, and planning still to make the meet in Argentina, still dont know if I am going to make it. My bike and current setup allows for just me to ride it, BUT if you cant find anyone else to pillion you, I will do my best to drop my backpack in Viedma and come get you, no probs at all.
So if you still aint got anybody in a month time, drop me a line through my website , www.paul-r.info where I have 2 family and 2 friends reading it, and we will see how feasible it is
Right enough rambling
Ride safe
Paul

Actually I lied
I only have 6 friends reading my website and two of them are people that sit on each side of me at work and I keep on setting their PC to my site so that they have to read it.
The other 4 are your 2 friends and 2 family that have linked to my site through your website.
Thanks for the back up offer!

Let me know if you need anything while in BA. Don't have a bike here or I'd give you a ride happily. I'm on a temporarily delayed ride now. See gpadventure.com My bike is parked in LA, and I expect to be here in Argentina for another 2-3 months.

bus ride?
Thanks for the offer. Well you never know - might end up sharing the bus down. Went out shopping today and bought a new light weight tent. I am looking forward to using in the sunshine of Argentina when I get there.
See you soon,
Annette

Hey Cool
I will tell my grandmother who lives in the Bay of Islands (where I am from) that someone in NZ has found my website and reads it. She will be stoked.
Thanks!
Annette

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.
