Thumbs up cbf600
That's a bit "different" Matt; have you posted anything in, say, the Honda threads about travelling with a multi-cyl bike?

ummm no... I try not to mention it

Perhaps I should? It did get picked up by the CBF1000 forum a while back - some chap found our blog and posted it up.

Nothing too scary though - I'm certainly not going off-road to start with... that will have to wait until I get the ETV

Sorry, I did not realise that, they came up for me and I assumed it would work for anyone else.

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.
