For those members who enjoy travelling by bike on the more adventurous roads, so to speak. You may be interested in having a look at next year's UK Horizon Hubb meeting to be held at Ripley, Derbyshire July 5th - 8th 2012.
I went there for the first time last June, along with 600 other bikers and there was a full programme from talks on visas to surviving on road kill, other rider's tales to bike riding technique, luggage choice to repairs at the roadside etc etc.
It's a camping weekend on a site with good food / beer, showers etc.
Several trade stands - alloy panniers, expedition equipment.

So they haven't all got GS's then. (meaning that they do break down but are not repairable at the roadside
)

Very nice.
Triumphs and GS's, they are what my companions have used on several european trips whilst I have been on my MT outfit.
Oh how they initially laughed when they saw the MT amongst their £15000 outfits. The Tiger 955/Wasp outfit was recovered twice as was the GS two wheel drive outfit and the Bonnie once while little old cheapy MT has never failed.
How smug am I?

....Are those Honda C90's??......I've heard of an annual trip tp Western Africa on C90's where they leave all the bikes out there for medics.....
....When I was 18, I hitch-hiked to Yugoslavia (my first solo travel adventure).....I remember meeting a bloke who'd ridden from the UK on a PUCH 50cc twist & go....I was so jealous.....It was quite a fanny magnet!!....
