Hi Ian Hadden
Thanks for your post. It was the funniest thing I’ve read all week. Hilarious!
Like Grant said, you need to take this thread with a pinch of salt. Keep in mind that my views are my own and not that of Horizons Unlimited or any participant on this B Board.
After re-reading my original post I believe that I meant what I said.
Big trailies seem to be the ‘next urban-4x4 must have’ (thanks Geoff for the term) and I find that to be a pain in the arse.
I don’t want to suggest a dividing line between the ‘worthy’ and ‘unworthy’. That would be very wrong and besides, there’s no point. A line already exists between the ‘want-to’ and ‘doing-it’ and I think HU does fine work in helping people cross the line.
I also don’t want to limit the amount of people who live the ‘long way round’ life but I think there are people in this world that should be kept at home. For instance, I don’t want Ali-G riding a pimped-up Katoom a day ahead of me claiming he’s my best mate and knocking up the chief’s daughter.
Bike manufacturers are selling a dream to certain gung-ho and inconsiderate people that I wish would not become aware of this lifestyle.
There, I’ve said too much again… I’ll go sit in the corner shall I?
