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.

Certainly not by falling flat on his arse then relying on charity. Shame brother. You have the age respect bike and starbucks coffee. Use your authority! Before they pick up your bike you yell 'Troepe, wat doen julle? daars die boom! Daar gaan julle!' after they have run the 2 km and back to the tree to collect a leaf then you make them pick up the bike for damaging state property. Then after the bike is up and dusted they must run back and put the leaf back.

lol!
Yes, the brain slows (I think) LOL Wow, cool, haven't heard Afrikaans in a long time!!

More like its the British who are being invaded. Last time I was in London it didn't look like the UK. No need for them to come in landing craft. They just need to pitch up at heathrow and are welcomed in. Its like the world is on an RTW trip, but it is one way and ends in Europe.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
