Thank's Tony

The weather in April is a bit uncertain, it's a month that could have rain or you could get a fantastic weather, if you pass near Lisbon you have my humble house at your service

Have a nice ride

Hi,

Thanks for your comment on my introduction post, made in perfect Polish (however I suppose that it was Google Translator who did a good job
I certainly not only will be riding close to Lisbon, but even visiting Lisbon, in last week of April this year (2014). We will be in 3 motorcycles, 5 people. We do not need an accommodation, because we stay in hotels. However, maybe a short or longer ride together around Lisbon? We will come to Portugal from Gibraltar. In our plans there is Algarve as a must, Lisbon as a must, Sintra and Cabo da Roca (we are collecting the farests ends of Europe).
Let me contact you closer to the date of our journey,and if in that time you will not be too busy with your work, jump on to your Kawa and show us some Portugal roads. If not, at least recommend some places to visit e.g. restaurants.

Super!
I will contact you here (by this post) around Easter. We start from Poland April 21, quick ride through Germany and France. We plan to start "touristc part" from Barcelona April 24th. Spanish coast without any strict plans so far.
In Portugal we will be around April 27th, roughly.
So, not any commitment for now, but, if it would be a beautiful Sunday, April 27th, if we will be already in Portugal, if you will have a fancy for a Sunday ride, why not to meet and ride together to a fish restaurant?

Hi,
Are you still in HUBB?
As announced couple weeks ago, we are going to visit your beautiful country from Sunday April 27th, coming from Sevilla, Spain. Quick ride along Algarve, Lisbon is a must, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and we are leaving Portugal Tuesday April 29th.
Short stay in Portugal, but we are doing it in 2 weeks journey from Poland, 8500 km.

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.
