Note to self: Find something really big and photograph it for this thread. I was thinking about a pic of my boss's ego, but lens not wide enough, will keep my eyes peeled for something else. Love you pics and BIG things posted so far!

I'd include your "BIG Panniers" ! Those are some whoopers!
What brand are they ... how they working out? Price?
The USA is full of "BIG" stuff. Mostly tourist stuff like Paul Bunyan, Big Doughnut, Big TeePee and on and on and on. Out Southwest, West us full of BIG. Seems Oz has their fair share.
Love the Postie bike ... what's the plan after Oz tour?
Safe going, all the best!

They are dinky di original panniers from a real postman. They're bloody terrific, hold heaps, really strong plastic canvas material and slot on and off really easily with metal brackets. Like the bike, I'm testing the theory that they are indestructible. You can't buy them - but you can get them off AusPost (if u know the right postie) because the CT110 model is being replaced by the ND110 and the panniers are not interchangeable - so they are ditching all the old ones.

You need a photo in front of a Big Thing as evidence

I'm considering shipping Mo to Turkey next year for the Centenary of the Anzac at Gallipoli. If so, I'll then take him up north to the Arctic Circle... maybe... we'll see...
Safe going, all the best!

Cheers - thanks

Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
