Is Tigers_Are_Cool really Austin Vince on the publicity wagon again? We will soon know if 'Tigers' next thread is 'All tents and riding gear sucks' and Ponchos and overalls are the way to go. 
To mika, who remarked about this post going to the 'bar' I once again say, look who is paying for an advert at the Top right hand side of the page, 'Don't allow the hand who feeds you get bitten'

Well it's still a form of rather clumsy censorship. This thread is pretty well balanced, not one sided. Hopefully Touratech would accept that.

Well Touratech provided world overlanders, Simon & Lisa Thomas (listed Travellers on this board), an outstandingly generous lifeline when Simon suffered an awful experience earlier in the year. Some of you might already be aware of what happened. If not, then you can pick-up the gist of the story from post #1072 of the 2 Ride the World thread over on ADVrider.
My views and opinion of Touratech was hugely enhanced after learning about this. I would buy from them.

It has all been said before. It will all be said again.
My bet? The problems you are dealing with is with TT UK not TT world wide.
Try out Metal mule UK based and look good to me. They are in the "support our sponsors" as well Motorcycle Luggage Systems, Motorcycle Pannies and Bags | Metal Mule
For me I have some tt boxes got them used and they look it but work well.

Touratech stuff is ok, expensive but good quality ime.
10k on TT stuff is a bit wacko imo! 
I got less than 6k invested in my entire travel kit, including the bike! If you're on a budget you got to go with the KLR and Happy Trails gear, best bang for the buck imho!
TT Thailand put on a nicely catered shindig for Simon and Lisa last year outside of Bangkok.

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.
