Overland prepped TLC
Gotta say this vehicle represents great value, especially when you look at the quality of the kit added.

JT - didn't realise you took offence so easily:
"I must say I found it most annoying when someone posted a similar response to an advert of mine, especially as he was in the business of making money from car sales."
In fact i'm not in the business of making money from car sales - maybe one day - at the moment it hardly keeps the wolf from the door old man, so I'd say it's rather more of a hobby really.
Anyway, sorry if I caused you any sleepless nights and I'll hold my tongue next time.
TTFN!

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.
