Competition time! Win £150's worth of bike care and cleaning stuff

It's competition time again!

This time we're giving away over £150's worth of motorbike care and cleaning products. Free to enter, no purchase necessary.
It's a great prize, containing everything you need to get your bike looking the business!

There's a wheel cleaning kit, polish, visor cleaner and a selection of aerosols - 16 items in all from Muc-off, Motul, Meguiars and Silkolene.

How to win it?

Easy! Just let us know the make of the "mystery motorbike" on our web site and fill in the competition entry form with your answer. If you like,
you can tell us what model it is too, but you don't need to... and there are no bonus prizes!

It's free to enter and there's no commitment to buy anything, so give it a go!
You've nothing to lose... except perhaps a whole weekend spent cleaning and polishing if you're the winner ;-)

Last entries by close of play on Friday 26th June 09, please.

If you're the winner, you'll get all this: (all linked to our web site so you can find out more if you like)

A Muc-Off Bike Spray aerosol (to "protect, preserve and freshen")
A can of Muc-Off Disc Brake Cleaner (as above; shifts brake dust, oil and dirt)
A Muc-Off Ultimate Wheel and Tyre Kit (Muc-Off Nanotech Wheel Cleaner, Muc-Off Wheel Seal plus 3 brushes, a sponge, a cloth, 2 sponge applicators and a nice tub to put it all in)
A Muc-Off visor cleaner and cloth pack (shine & protect plastic parts)
A Motul Wash & Wax dry cleaner aerosol (comes in a handy wallet thing)
A Motul Carbu-Clean carburetor spray cleaner aerosol (...it's a carb cleaner)
A can of Motul Tyre Repair (compact, handy size)
A Silkolene Titanium Chain Gel aerosol (protects your chain whilst keeping it looking like new)
A can of Motul Air Filter Oil (we'll swap this for something else if your bike doesn't have a foam filter)
A tin of Meguiars Cleaner Wax (cleans and polishes)
A bottle of Meguiars Gold Class Bug & Tar Remover (motorbikes seem to get more than their fair share of insect splatter!)
3 litre bottles of Muc-Off bike cleaner (with "nano-technology", apparently)
2 Meguiars Even-Coat applicator pads (for applying the wax)
A Meguiars Microfibre Mitt
(Partridge and Pear tree not included)

... so that'd keep you busy.

There's also the option for the winner to substitute the product selection above for a more car-focussed prize instead - details on our web site on the competition entry form.

Rules? Well, Opie Oils staff can't enter :-( The prize is as stated and there's no cash alternative, entries received after Friday 26th June won't count and just the one entry each please.
You're welcome to enter if you're not in the UK, but we might need a donation for shipping, depending on where you live!

Good luck!
Guy and the team >> Enter now <<

Good PR, huh?

I looked at your m/cycle oils page - you give a price but not the amount of oil, making it a challenge to evaluate the products you sell. Did I miss something?
There are two pictures and the competition says "Identify either the car or motorbike"

Cheers

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.
