Dusty Butt SS 1000 Roadbook V.1 is ready for ride !
It contains 264 rows = 39 psc A5 pages = 8,2m of navigational information including all crossroads, fuel stops, dangerous places and other safety and navigation information with part / total distances. Dusty Butt Roadbook will keep you on the route. This kind of event GPS it’s not most reliable navigation device because it try to recalculate the route or do some other silly things and get you lost if you don’t know your device good enough. Roadbook is just basic map information printed on paper turn by turn and only difficult thing is read and understand information and stay on map and route when riding.
Now three years route, ride, and event planing is almost done but Dusty Butt SS 1000 it’s still 100% not ridden. Looking forward to see all you guys and some IBAF members on start line. We’ll checking out are carrots hard and potatoes soft or ”vice versa” ? I can guarantee that the ride will be one of the toughest IBA rides in Finland ever!

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.
