No idea... maybe 100's my limit and no matter how much I post, it will always be 100.
Just like on my Duke II!

Indeed!! Moving only slightly off topic, my own odometer has been showing high numbers over the past two or three years, yet I don't feel I've been getting much fun from the bike; I've done a lot of commuting, but very little travelling (OK, commuting on the bike is better than in the car, but it's not what I really want to be doing).
If I only showed travelling miles, not commuting, or picking a child up from school, or running an errand that I should have used the car for or any of the other duty journeys...
If I hadn't spent so much TIME and MONEY on them I might (should) have done more real travelling.

Funometer...
MarkE...
That sounds soooooo unhappppy!!! I thought only Londoners get so wrapped up in 'commuting' that they forget to have fun!
HOWEVER --- I DEFINITELY don't think that only 'travelling' miles are fun miles... and the way you sneak in 'gratuitous' bike fun, is brilliant!!
Don't know if its because I'm a constant danger to myself and others - or because commuting in London is running a gauntlet of crazy couriers, obnoxious cabs and kamikaze pedestrians.. but EVERY mile I put on my bike commuting, is like a BIG ADVENTURE trying to stay alive!

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.
