Hey guys.

Just saw this thread.

I have the month of October off and looking to do some light riding and sight seeing in Europe. I'm pretty flexible with everything.

Hi David,
Unfortunately October does not work for me. My dates clarified a little bit, and the best for me would be 19.08 - 4.09. So I am becoming more and more specific. Actually, I am also considering now a second option, to go into Balkans, due to the fact that Adrian won't make it till this dates, and some friends of mine are going there in this time.
Maybe you can contact Adrian directly, and arrange with him something for October. Maybe till then his foot will be functional again... :-)
Cheers,
Greg

Thx for the reply mate.

Yeah, whatever is good.

My job is very unpredictable, so this is the best I can do. But, I will look up Adrian and see what he's thinking.

Either way, Balkans are going to be a lot of fun. I spent some time last year in Greece and Croatia - stunning scenery...


Cheers.

Pyreenees in August / September

Greg,

Just joined this; saw your post. The R5 route looks pretty cool. Thinking of going down to Spain sometime next week (Portsmouth to Santander/Bilbao), then flexible from there; ultimately heading to Italy, Balkans, via South of France.

If you still planning to do Spain, give me a shout and see what we can work out.

BTW DL650 V-Storm is not bad off-road, bit heavy. I had one in New Zealand in January, and it was quite good fun.

Cheers,

Pete

Trip to Pyrenees has clarified a bit. We go with PeteDynatz. Meeting point - 20-21 August in the area of San Sebastian and ride to Tudela. From there we follow Roadbook No. 5. (for around 10 days).

Cheers,
Greg

Hi all,

very envious you will be getting there soon greg/pete, I am in hospital saturday for operation on the foot, then at least 6 weeks on crutches I think, so at best I will not be on my feet till october. I am naturally gutted that summer will be about over, so I might well have to look to next year for a bike trip, but you never know!

regards

Adrian

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.
