a trio from italy

things been a bit slow here in yamaha tech lately, thought to enliven the section with some nice local XT stuff. anything XT is quite cult here in italy, 500s even more so,
on the first bike you can see the level some are maintained or restored locally. sickening.... and look at that stock looking center stand, never seen one, was it ever an option?
second pic is a rough 550, but look at the nice twin disc setup. for all of you complaining you cant do stoppies.

last, at a swap meet, a nice prepped for P-D sample, by local dealer Dune. too much interesting stuff to list.

enjoy

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.
