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.

Now up and running again so...

In parallel to the longer films I enjoy making, I'm going to be developing a few other series ideas, mostly shorter films, the first of which I'm calling 'Behind The Photo' for now, but would love any better suggestions you can come up with...

The idea in this series is to share some of the hidden context and stories that aren't immediately obvious from my photos that I think you would find interesting or laugh at like I do.

I hope you enjoy them, another one out shortly...

Please offer any thoughts, neutral or negative ones are great too, Its always interesting to see how other people experience things...

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.
