Are you promoting BMWs now? A GS Trophy to make them look like they could/should go to this places? Sure money can get you into any place and out again, as we could all see with the two British actors.

But pls Butch, this is the HUBB ... and its not for actors, wannabees or promoting any brand with bulls... slogans. Sorry, but its nothing against you (or Bmw) ... but I cant stand this useless competitons to promote what ever .... a good product does not need this fake heroism.

My 2 cents worth of today.

Sidenote: KTM Australia has a cool 2018 Rally going around NT / Australia but might be not the right forum (HUBB) to post with all them serious full on “RTW” hardcore bikers, eh?

Hi Butch,

and how many 1200GSs are still parked in your garage or ordered from the dealer? No offence, but why dont you post the next dates for the HD custom bike show competition in China here as well? HD also have two wheels and can go to places.

I would suggest, a mod deletes this thread. Hope you agree Butch.

Enjoy your rides.

Mate - sorry to burst your bubble, never owned a boxer engine BMW and never will as not very fond of them to be honest (no offence to BMW boxer engine owners please). Only “boxer engine” style bikes I had back in 90’s in PRC= Chang Jiang 750cc sidecars but that’s another story and would not buy one again either....

Mods, feel free to delete the thread if seen necessary and apologies well in advance for not being a “hardcore” RTW biker and might not be worthy posting at the HUBB.... All, have a great and relaxed day - keep on riding, over and out on the issue from my side!

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.
