The hottest new offering from Italy?
Anybody seen a MotoMorini Granpasso? Can't wait to get my mitts on one of these....... I reckon they will be popular with people who are looking for a more attractive alternative to an 1150 GSA

Ohh guys ... I have to disappoint you all together..
the perfect overland bike is invented already by a Swedish bloke.... see the image. last year on my way up north on the ferry from Helsingborg to Helsingoer... I made this picture... just look at it, this bike has all the tricks and gadgets you need on a overland trip........... Interchangeable fuel system catering stuff on mass, lots of space for all your toys and souvenirs, a comfortable seat, easy to maintain and so on... it's road legal too.... just perfect........

Did you notice this map-pin-board on top of the Top-Box... ? What you can't see easily is that there is a dust pan bolted to the frame, works as a skid plate.... and there is no EL or kick-starter, instead he is using a winding handle like they used on cars in the old days....... wonder why there was a big Ford-alternator fitted on the right........ ?! never seen a cheaper, lighter and fully equipped overland bike ever.......... Mind you... the chip foam would come a bit soggy riding in the wet, but can be replaced any time with out hassle........ stunning.... that's in the middle of Europe, not at the end of nowhere..... he may just came back from his RWT and all the expensive bits are rattled off........... So don't you think it's better riding your bike back home in dignity, rather than dump the tackle and loose the deposit you payed on the carnet ? .. would you ? I guess we are coming to a point where the truly wayfarer meets the traveller on the blades tip.... Hanno

my nomination
Pete Forwood's 180+ nation Harley ... it doesnt get any cooler than that. Doesnt matter what you are riding, if you saw him coming the other way, you would stop and take your hat off to the man and the bike.
- - - I think we should start a HU museum for historic bikes. When Pete has finished his remaining 6 countries we museum his bike. There is still Louis Bloom's original Mondo Enduro bike around somewhere ... that would be good next to it. FWIW (a lot less than the other two) I even still have one of the '94 Tokyo-London bikes and Chinese 00002 number plate. There must be plenty of interesting other donations possible ... ;-)
