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.

Mez, what's your route? SO many places in BC to see. I think it's one of the most underappreciated and most beautiful places in the world, not that I'm biased or anything...

Hey, I missed this post, to busy with the tracks and meeting random folk along the way..!!!
Great to meet you Grant and hear your biking history (Not just a Global Traveller you know, quite a loon on the track in his day by the sounds of it.....) Some great stories about 2-stroke Suzuki's in particular, those were the days.......

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.
