Hunting for workspace near portsmouth
Hi all
after 4 years travel I returned to the uk, parked up my 40.10w in local farmers yard and disappeared off to china as a girl i met in nepal was off to work there. Two years later I'm back with a little boy living in sunny southsea in portsmouth. Before you scream cruel, criminal hang him. yes you know whats coming! my beloved van that served me so well apart from a hiccup with the timing chain!!! has been left to rot. How could he do it i hear them scream!!! and my answer is life goes on and time whizzes by. However after sorting a home for my little boy I might just have time to sort out my other child neglected baby. But to breath some life back into her I need s storage space somewhere near Portsmouth with power preferably undercover, that won't cost me an arm a leg and first born All ideas welcome.

all the best Mark

Hi Mark,

I can't help with storage, sorry. I have built two campers outside now, including my 40-10. It is hard work but not impossible. I am envious of folks who can work away indoors in relative comfort. Good luck with everything, and congratulations. I have sent you a PM about body mounts.

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.
