mine is Zebra stripes , has been over various models and years , it not seen as a threat by anybody, conveys that you dont take things too seriously and acts as a conversation starter. Its mostly white so good for heat , put it in amongst trees esp when dusk and it disappears. Stands out in a car park! JMHO

Keep it non military, Tiggurr was orange with stripes, got a laugh wherever i took him
But the roof was painted white to reflect the heat
Doing the same on the iveco roof (the white not the stripes thing !)

My medium blue is invisible in the dark when lights are turned off. Not as cool as white in daylight.

Have good experiences with light Grey color while on the road for 5 years in Asia and the Middle-East.
Besides the color - what also counts very heavily is the gear mounted on the rear, roof, front & sides. I'd never take white, black or signal colors like yellow, orange, red on overland journeys.
My grey Mercedes Benz 1017A has stealth quality to such extend it got mistakingly entered as commercial vehicle on the Greek/Turkish border. Got problems with that when exiting Turkey after 1.5 month. Foreign commercial vehicles are only allowed in Turkey for 1 month. Turkish customs is THOUGH i can tell..
Cheers

Landrover - Matt Pink - yes we painted it that colour. Seemed a good idea. Is great for starting conversations (of all types, some less desirable than others). Would do it again

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.
