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.

New growing movment on RIDE REPORTS

I,m very glad to see the new Ride Reports starting to emerge.Hopefully this will be the start of many and will open the site up for motorcyclists of all types and not just the long distance travellers but anyone who wants to let the world have a little glimpse into their lives.
Who cares if you didn,t go round the world your ride to where ever is just as valid.
So if you went somewhere at the weekend or if you,re doing a trials event in Wales and if you went to Florence in the summer.
Stick that report up there,we all want to see it!

for those of you who don,t want to see it,don,t look!!!

I took the outfit to B&Q to buy paint. Some kids pointed at me. I got the paint, it's blue.

Do you really want to read that? I'm really trying to give this a chance and am hopeing it doesn't turn into "What I did on my holidays". Let's hope eh.

Royal wee

I had a Royal wee once but that was too much Creme de Menthe.
If you went somewhere interesting and saw some interesting stuff whilst on holiday.I,d love to see it!!!
Once again it comes to 'I,d rather be sorry about what I did do than be sorry about what I didn,t do'
If it gets posted I can choose to look or not.If nobody posts I never get to choose.
Every time I,ll go for the former,rather than the latter.
Finally if you don,t like the ride reports,DON,T LOOK!

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.
