Horizons Unlimited First Time Event - Perth

Post by Davey_sprockeT »

Hi all,
just a quick reminder for all who don't attend our monthly meetings, 8)

next weekend 19-20 October 2013 sees the first ever event on our doorstep here in sunny WA. With over 60 folks registered, International travellers attending and a full program of instructional workshops, so get yer bums up to Yanchep.

and come away inspired by others, who are also considering that motorbike adventure you've always dreamed of doing...

Starring our own Ewan McGregor (no, not that one) 8) . and Grant & Susan Johnson (HU founders) are coming over for the event.

If I wasn't tied up with the RTCC, I'd see you there

Hey Davey, I believe DFS has been a long term member of this organisation and has been instrumental in bringing it to Perth W.A. too.

Well Done DFS 8)

Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."

Just got back glass of red poured - several club members attended, what a weekend, 94 registrations, a really positive attitude and we just wished off attendee Dominik Hellweg from Germany in style - he is starting off his RTW journey today (starting with Australia) on a GS 800 (good choice).

Dominik's journey started with attending the Perth event. Feedback was very positive, longer update and report when recovered. Given feedback and enthusiasm - there will be another event - but we will may need a larger venue.

regards Ewen... :P

Well done Ewen and all that helped put on the first HU in the West

I couldn't attend as it clashed with the Conquer Cancer ride ..... next year I'll get there.

Following the first Perth Horizons Unlimited meeting with HU founders Grant and Susan Johnson, several members rode a guard of honour for Dominic Hellweg from Germany to send him off on his round Australia journey.
A short video and Dominics pictures link follows:
