The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

What kind of combat?

Confederate G2 P51 Combat Fighter

Check out this G2 P51 Combat Fghter

I think G2 is military code for "intel" so is MI

And this does look more James Bondish.

says there:

"The American Confederate Motors has lifted the veil from second generation of its P51 Combat Fighter. It is inspired by the first model but with some reference to the recent X132 Hellcat. This bike is the last effort of Pierre Terblanche who will migrate to Royal Enfield. The G2 P52 combat fighter where G2 stand for the second generation, proudly flaunts 56-degree V-twin engine with a displacement of 2163 cc."

The $US10,000 discount for early orders really clinched the deal for me. Now, where did I put that spare $US110,000 I had lying around....? Maybe in my other pair of pants?

Good to know

Thanks javkap, Obviously you are right, and I was wrong about the meaning of G2 - it is just that Combat Fighter sounds so military I made a logical conclusion Are you going to Viedma this year?

Markharf, here is a tip - Markharf or Markov? One or the other of his theories might help you find the missing US $110.00. If you do, let me know immediately.

That's "one hundred and ten thousand US dollars," the approximate price of one of those rigs once you've taken the advance order discount. If you prefer, about a million six hundred and sixty-seven thousand Argentine pesos. Markov chains are inapplicable.

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.
