Very nice pics, keep them coming, always nice to see all the different models and modding. My first bike was the 89mod XT600 with kickstart 20years ago, damn i remember the feeling i had on my first trip. Have tried alot of different from Buell, Harley, GSXR, YZFR,KTM, VFR+++ and still i think taking my XT for a ride is a good feeling. Easy riding, nice city bike, good for adventure and fun offroad, what more can you demand from a bike.

Yes they are home made. Some TE510 husqvarna buddy pegs that were cut up and welded on a steel profile. Once folded up they are nicely out of the way.

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.
