The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

This is a brilliant idea. Three cheers for whoever thought up this section. And thanks Grant for making it a reality. Now if there's a 'light' disagreement somewhere, people can be sent INTO the pub. ;-)

The dog will have to be one who's travelled all over the globe. I'm lousy at names. No suggestions...

Cat in proper BMW colors
This cat is cool. But she is a working cat keeping the montana mice out of our house here at ryder repair. The name is Tesla for her electric personality.

I have had many dogs and it makes no difference what I name them they always wind up being called cumeer. (come here)

Sorry folks, I'm voting for a pub "dog". That cat is just all wrong.

These two would be great choices. They may not ride motorcycles, but they were born in Africa, and are currently bouncing around South America in a van with HU member "Lorraine", so they have the world traveller part down.

That's Dog on the left, she may want wine instead of Guiness, and Bruiser on the right, he'll work the door and keep the riff raff out. They are seen here chilling on the beach in Costa Rica.

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.
