tyres
I have learned to know these big cats as creatures with good taste, so no surprise there. The tyres are Japanese though, Bridgestone Dueler if i see correctly.

Those LR driver go to great length to discredit Japanese products!

cheers

The lions have been framed...
They are innocent.
The driver just never realised she had a flat, the LR always was a bit rough at low speeds....

If you look carefully you can see that the lions were actually just trying to help.
The Landy obviously had a flat, two lions come along, one starts taking off the spare wheel and the other is checking out the jacking points.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
