Will be dropping by on the way back from France. Hoping to make it there for Thursday night, but it might be Friday.

See you there!

Just make sure it's the right Blue XT with white tank, sheepskin and Dave Lambeth bashplate cos anyone trying to reduce my stash will have me coming at them brandishing an ice axe!

Forgot to mention Matt. Where the bashplate mounts the frame, you really need some rubber washers.

I used normal steel washers and the plate is a bit vibey at high revs so I plan to change mine.

Some large cheap tap washers should do the job just right.

Good tip, thanks. My old crappy home made bash plate kept shaking itslef loose so some rubber washers and threadlock will be fitted for sure.

The other option would be fibre washers, wether rubber or fibre is better I've no idea but I already have a box of fibre washers so might use them.

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.
