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.

Classic quote: “You picked the wrong day."

A couple dozen Muslims protesting something or other and a whole slew of motorbike enthusiasts.

The USA is big enough and tolerant enough for both groups.

Something I missed

By way of identification, I am an old(67) white Souther male. Mention was made about "taking our country back" by creating a day long traffic jam in DC. What would be taken back? Who took it-full names please? Aside from creating bad pr for all bikers, what else would be achieved? Just curious.

9/11 2013 aftermath

I could be wrong, but here is my take on "taking our country back" - as previously posted on this thread, ---- the approval rating for the U S Congress is about 10% and the approval rating for our President is less than about 47% I would guess the comment about "taking our country back" - was made in this context, and I agree it is absurd, but it could be loosely interpreted as doing something to demonstrate that the people are not happy with the performance of Congress and the President.

Perhaps those representing the low approval rating described above and as originally posted earlier on this same thread, believe our politicians have been influenced/bought by lobbyist representing multinational corporations, banks, big pharma, Monsanto style monopolists the manufacturers of armaments and the providers of logistical services that support war and war's aftermath, and Wall Street,.... to the demise of the majority of Americans. First and last names might be found by naming our politicians elected to national office, the CEOs of the Fortune 500 companies, and perhaps more than a few of the 2000 or so billionaires currently inhabiting the planet.

And, perhaps those same influences have managed to influence our mainstream media - as posted here......

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.
