Motohome - a bike as a camper
A minimalist motorhome based on a motorcycle - a refreshingly different approach for once (at least for me ^^ )
If I were a little smaller, I'd definitely consider something like this for a solo adventure.

I doubt if this is very safe to ride with a crosswind (or to ride it at all).

Or a couple of link rods from the handlebars - great for a rainy day No, wait, someone's beaten him to it -
And I thought this was over the top for bike camping when I saw it -
Are these things made for people allergic to dirt?

Why I avoid show rooms/boutiques of certain premium motorcycle brands
Never had snake trouble in the Holiday Inn or Best Western though.

@Tim:
This micro teardrop trailer is so cute!
@Vaufi
In Peru they are available with sidewalls - for 3000$ brand new. I didnt find a better picture:
Too bad, that with 1.93cm - those solutions are too small

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.
