Female company

I am crossing the states later this year. I know you will all think that this is odd but I would much prefer to have some female company. Blokes are opinionated a lot of the time I just want to relax any one out there interested ?

Hey Dave,
I think you should post this over on the Women's Forum ... I'm sure you'd get lots of responses from all our, quiet, meek and NON opinionated "girls" over there!

C'mon mate, everyone should be opinionated, opinions make us who we are. The 'women' that aren't opinionated are only so because they want what's in your trousers ... not what you're hoping for either, it's your wallet . That or their brain fell out.

"...they want what's in your trousers"

So not only his wallet but his handkerchief and loose change as well?

Come on David S... Put us all out of our misery and share your opinions on the opinions posted since you started this thread.

Have any female doormats who want to relax been in touch?

They may have read this, but surely to reply would require having said opinions! My girlfriend's a teacher, and regularly says "when I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!" - to the kids, I feel I should point out! Slightly off topic . . .

No no no no, you guys got it all wrong! check page 1 of your handbooks psychology! Blokes apparently have opinions about DAVE S, why else would it be annoying to him! There must be something off with him because opinionated people are only interesting. Prejudice people on the other hand are not, Dave S!! People without an opinion are drones!

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.
