I need an Etch-A-Sketch on the bars -- that would save me having to carry a camera and lenses!

I guess a RTW trip can get boring. Bike looks amazing.

Nice little video. I wish I had went now...

I posted the video because I had the footage.
I enjoyed the rides and meeting forum friends.
IMO, did not feel the meet is worth the price of admission.
I would not recommend this meet based on this one I attended last year @Ironhorse
and the one I dropped in at Appomatox, VA(I did spot 2 NCX at this meet but not the owners)
on my way home from the Stolen Pig Rally in Matewan, WV
There are far too many better gatherings

I'm in agreement with you, DCTFAN. I can't speak for Horizons Unlimited meets in general, since I have attended only at the Ironhorse Lodge. But, it's my opinion that Ironhorse is a poor venue for the HU event. Tents are packed in way too close, you might end up in a puddle if it rains and you camped across the creek, there's little chance you'll have a table, and water is very hard to find. I had to go to one of the cabins and disconnect their garden hose so I could fill a water carrier. If you want to see a popular speaker, forget it, because the meeting room is way too small. The second time I went, I just popped in to the camp to visit with Nofear2trek and some other forum members, but I did not register for the HU meet.

Plus +1 agreed that the HU events at IH and Appomattox leave a lot to be desired if you attended to hear and see the presenters. Space and seating is for smaller meetings. The upside of these events are meeting and day rides with other forum members, and sharing beers & lies with them in the evening.



On the other end of the spectrum is the HU in Kalifornia outside of Yosemite at the Mariposa Fair Grounds.



They had a ton of presenters last year, starting in the morning and ending in the evening. Usually at least two were going on at the same time, sometimes up to four. Large buildings with ample seating and good PA systems. Also large covered pavilions with bleachers. And in my opinion, a lot more venders too, and not just people trying to sell their travel book. Tent camping is totally relaxed, anywhere inside the fairgrounds you want to pitch your tent, even inside the covered pavilions not being used.
