Horizons Unlimited! Spot Growly

There is a biker sub cult of mad adventurers. Uniting many of us is Horizons Unlimited -their website is http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/. We communicate through the internet and attend meetings across the globe in little muddy fields in obscure locations. Its an opportunity to meet like-minded travellers who share a passion for motorbikes. People arrive from all ends of the world. Some still busy travelling around the world, some about to go on epic trips and some have come back home to tell their stories and do slide shows. It's just fantastic and I've met some extremely good and interesting people through Horizons.

Last June ie 2004 I went to the HU UK meeting. And to my absolute DELIGHT I found my beatiful growly bike in the background of someone's photo! Take a look http://possu.smugmug.com/gallery/161238/3/6006015. The bike in the foreground belongs to Geoff who did a trans-Africa trip. His website was http://www.catchthepig.co.uk/ but I don't think its about any more. If you look carefully you can just see Dick's bike parked next to mine. Matching F650GS bikes... so cute.

This is truely the place to hang out, if that's what you're into.
