Tool kits required for RTW Riders
Anyone taking a Japanese Bike
If your taking a Harley Davidson
What you will need if your taking a Ducati
Don't set off on a BMW with any less than this.

Dazzer, there's more than a few people on the HUBB without a sense of humour or who wouldn't recognise a joke if it slapped them in the face: Look at some of the replies to http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ep-faith-74913

Getting a bit personal here are we, I buy the "bling" because it is my choice, the same freedom of choice that men died for 70 years ago. So let go of the petty thinking, get on your bike and do some riding.

Seems a bit rash to sell off your BMW just because of a puncture ...

Maybe the word Puncture now means Final drive failure.

Who's Marco? Is he a comedian/ sense of humour guru/ BMW mechanic in post #1? Will he twiddle your Ring Antenna for you?

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.
