I bought these in February:



Pharao Luxor II. Ventilated, very sturdy, several pockest and hopefully not too hot. I thought about getting kevlar jeans and a leather jacket but eventually went with new pants for my old jacket. Maybe next time, when replacing both the jacket and the pants, I'll go with something less clowny

I have an old pair of the HG Rallye LC pants, they are pretty versatile, zip out waterproof lining for cooler weather and they have a little zip open mesh flap above the knee for warmer weather.
Hip and knee protectors and leather on the arse and knees.
I think HG stuff is sized small TBH

"Clowny frowny" ...I think they look sharp . I bought my wife an earlier version of Pharao gear. So far it held up pretty good, including hot (Florida) and cold n' rainy (Alaska) riding.

True. If you're sitting in a cafe by the St Lawrence eating a sugar dusted croissant and taking a first sip from an espresso and find the coffee burns your upper lip, Geoff ain't the kinda guy who's gonna step over and hug you.

A tip however: If you're in a distant land and riding 175m from the back of an armoured SUV and you see Geoff sitting on the tailgate taking the safety of his Minimi, then I suggest you brake...quickly.

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.
