The 2010 Tenth Anniversary Of Horizons Unlimited
…was the worlds largest motorcycle travellers meeting, we were there and we had a great time!
It was a busy year with both the shop to look after and three presentations to prepare, not to mention literally hundreds of friends to catch up with. Not much sleep was had!
By the end of day three two of the Adventure-Spec presentations, ‘Overweight is Underprepared’, were over and many travellers moved to the overspill room and continued their discussions about lightweight travel tips/techniques/kit but eventually ran out of time. Any extra information that was promised at the time can be found here (apologies for the delay!).
It was great to meet so many old friends, especially those who had returned from trips to tell us superb stories and give us such amazing feedback on our products. Although we use all the gear we sell, its always you guys who ultimately let us know if we’re doing it right or not!
At 10pm on Saturday night Dave Lomax was filmed in the main presenting room telling the first full unabridged version of the Salt and Gold 2009 trip. Some you might have seen the Salt and Gold DVD but the extra pictures and film clips had the capacity audience gazing in wonder at the beauty of the empty western quarter of the Sahara Desert.
In short it was a great weekend. Special thanks to Danny at the roadkill cookout for again keeping us supplied with smoked dead things to consume and regular ’special treats’!
Home for the weekend was the Adventure-Spec mobile shop showing the full range of Motion Pro Tools, Gi-T Hardware and Klim products including the new Rally/Adventure Suit.
Many old friends dropped in including Andrew Neri with his 2010 Dakar bike (Andrew chose Klim clothing to ride in as well as lightweight Motion Pro tools for his Dakar 2010 bid).
And Walter Colebatch on his trusty BMW X-Challenge fresh from another crazy foray into the far north of Siberia. We were delighted when Walter told us how happy he was with his new Adventure/Rally suit!
