Hey Freddy we made it home in one piece and the license is still intact. Amazing hey! I will keep an eye on your progress, have you thought of catching up with Frank or will he be long gone by the time you are ready. Good luck with the rebuild.

Progress report
Hey Freddy have you done the Simpson yet? Did the TTR make it home or did you have to give it a sandy burial? I am interested to see how you got on.

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.
