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.

Probably shouldn't talk politics at the bar but............

Bill was trying to comfort Hilary after her defeat. Don't worry about it honey, Nelson Mandela had to do 27 years hard labor before he got voted in

Seeing as Dave Drwinite is still in the bar ( how u doin ?) he must be pretty thirsty if no ones bought him a schooner! My shout.

I couldn't think of a suitable place to put this and there are many friends who I ought to contact personally, but time is not my best friend at the moment. So I thought a quick announcement in the bar would get to everyone ( eventually).

Just to let you know that I will be moving from the Limousin region of France after 12 years, at the end of next week. I am a community, but have now removed my current details from the site temporarily. They will re-appear around Xmas time. I'm moving 600kms up country to the north west corner of Brittany in the Cotes D'Armor. I will be less than 1.5hrs from the Channel ports of Roscoff & St Malo; and about 2 hrs from Caen ( Ouistreham) and Cherbourg. Any travellers doing a channel hop either way and who may need a contact, then don't hesitate to get in touch through the Communities (contact) section.

Hope you are all having a good time wherever you are and what ever you are doing.

Welcome to Cotes d'Armor Pongo when you arrive. There's quite an active biking community in the area. I'm near Rostrenen when I'm here.

We visit Lanrivain regularly. Some friends of ours there run a motorcycle based gite business.

Rural Brittany Holiday Home Page
The local bar/restaurant run by Jerome and Virginie is also a popular destination for us.

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.
