BMW with Charley & Ewan paint job...

Can anyone tell me who the guy was at the HU meeting in Ripley, on a BMW that had the custom paint job, with Charley and Ewan's faces on the tank?

Need to get in touch with him.

I camped next to the GSer with the Charley & Ewan paint job at Ripley...but his HU handle evades me. Try asking your question on the BMW thread: someone there's bound to know him

As for the comments of ridicule on this thread...grow up boys...show a little more support for your fellow HUBBers

I love the fact that the riders crotch will be in Ewan and Charlies face when he's on the pegs! Maybe it's ironic and it was designed that way.

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.
