Hu bar boring old crap

Why don,t we have some interesting topics of conversation on here like some other ADV sites have or is this site completely occupied by boring old farts on BMW who don,t like bad behavior or driving fast cos they might upset someone.This page must just be boring old Brits,where are the mouthy Yanks or the pissy Europeans.

On a Roll

Albert,

You are on a roll. You must be throwing back a few pints tonight.

Keep throwing someshit against the wall - something will stick.

Good luck.

Spot on Al, which is why I stopped frequenting this bar months ago: you have it right - everyone else is wrong. There are much better bars, maybe yours is one of them.
If the guys want to argue about it, I know another guy who will fix them for a price.
But I don't come cheap. 2000 euros per 5 days will do the trick.

If you want the job done properly hire a professional.

Oh yes

Yesterday I meet with a guy who posts here in Medellin and gave him info on Colombia Ecuador and Peru,then a little later a guy mails me about tyres in Quito and just now I put him onto a guy for a reasonably priced Galapagos trip.Then another poster here asks me to be a reference for a University trip he,s planning in South America and finally on Advrider a gal who wants a service and some tyres for her Klr when she gets to Quito.
I would have to ask Caminando other than whinge about me what have you done for the motorcycling community today.

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.
