Cocktails in Vancouver BC
Greetings fellow travellers, I'm presently in southern Oregan bimbling north. I expect to get to Vancouver around 10 days time and will try to book into the Central YoHo, its cheap and has parking, while I get some gear and check on the weather further north. Anyone fancy joining me for ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) and an info swap?
![Beach](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beach.gif) This is a figment of my hypothermic imagination, I don't need a fridge to chill my ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) , I just clasp my hands around the tin/bottle.
Ride safe.

Now arriving in Vancouver BC (downtown hostel) on the 4th May and expect to be there 'till the 10th May before carrying on north. Whilst I would like some face to face chat and drink with others who are going the same way or have been the same way, failing that some info via this means or a PM would also be nice.
Ride safe.

If you are coming up I-5 through SW Washington I have a RV at my shop you could stay in. One mile off of I-5 at exit 71. It is all set up as we will be pulling out to a job site in Oregon on the 4th. Also shop to work on bike if needed. Cell phone 360-508-0904, shop 360-266-0695

Hi Bob, thanks very much; however, I'm being a touristo in Seattle this weekend and Vanvouver BC on Monday so I'm going to have to take a rain check on your kind offer, maybe the next time I'm passing. If you ever come to St Andrews in the summer, you have a bed. Ride safe.

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.
