Sorry to be contrary, but Waxy's Piccadilly on a Friday night will be a nightmare of shiny shirted postroom boys gettin slitty-eyed and chesty on Stella. Can I instead suggest the gentler charms of The Blue Posts, Brewer Street, junction Broadwick St, Soho, W1? Loads of bike parks, loads of night buses, all good. Si? Email me for directions, confirmation, etc etc and again, open to all have-been and wannabe overlanders.

Cheers, Dan Walsh

Hi Guys,

Hmmm... bit of a sore head this morning, but had a great time last night...

Cool to meet you all, and looking forward to the BBQ at Pete's place!

Trent and Jacqui

It was great to meet up with you all. Very inspiring. I realised later that it would have been nice to exchange contact details. Anyway if anyone is interested in getting in touch my email address is on my website www.argentina2alaska.co.uk . As I would love to meet up and hear more about where to go in central and south america or just to go for a bike ride (which I successfully managed to do on Saturday - and thank you for all your well wishes).

ciao,
Annette

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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.
