expedition truck

Had a look at your truck, you did a grand job! I`ve just started to convert a Bedford MJ with an office body fitted to it. The plan is to take an overland trip in a few years (when the kids are just a bit older) and at the rate i work three years might not be enough ! Any way hope you get the truck sold, cheers....marty.
ps. did you travel any of the desert pistes of Morocco ? if so tell me more as thats our first destination.

Thumbs up Be Nice to Rob Day

Hey Rob, you should keep that up on the WWW as a reference for all the self builders out there! (me included)

You really did a marvellous job, it must be strange to have to part with it.
My Iveco will be going onto the market next year because of a growing family and I'm already upset about it. (Over the moon with the reason, but still..)

What's your next project? (I know you have one, we all do)

Cheers
Luke

Hi Marty
I only got to go down some of the more normal roads in Morocco as i was in convoy with some German lads until i had to rush back to the UK, Dad spent two weeks in intensive care. but did do a bit in the deep sand and would highly recommend and old Bedford as it had no probs.
If you want to go in convoy there is always a few big trucks parked up Dec Jan time, 5 kms north west of Tarifa at the beach. and they always know the cheapest places to get ferry tickets.

Hi Luke
at the moment i have no more plans for building another as i have had to come home to look after my folks, there old and seen determined to get value for money from the health service. so stuck in the UK for a bit

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.
