Mike... NFLD is a definite MUST if we're doing the TLH - makes for a great loop.
1.5 weeks should be enough time - no!?

That's probably doable although 2 weeks would be better.
3 weeks if you're on a 450!
Maybe early August?

Hey you freakin leg humpers, good to see the name Uber-Moto without the hate mail.
Haha, sold it before it granaded eh! Good choice, and if my opinion means anything the 450/something else combo is a weiner.
Duber for president

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.
