A Suzuki Address? That sounds suspiciously like a scooter.
You you can join too.

Suzuki Tiddlers, anyone?
I have a collection of old Suzuki 50s that are "road legal"..... well almost...that friends get to use about once a year when we have a weekend away somewhere. Not exactly touring, as it's usually about 400km round trip, but it's huge fun. There are 4 A50s from 1968 to 1976, an AC50 Maverick, RG50 and a GSXR50. Not yet on the road is a TS50 which might even make an overlander!
I also have a '73 AC50 Maverick that has an A100 engine fitted (stealth moped!). A young German girl used it last year for a five month trip around New Zealand, with only an ignition coil failure to slow her down.
Cheers,
Nigel in NZ

see, I knew there were more....
I wonder aswell if there is going to be more of a surge of 125cc dual sports on the market???
Who here is going to the Ripley meet? Would be good to get a 125cc camp going.

I have a couple of 'low powered' diesel bikes and a xlr125 that I use for work, but after recent run-ins with Tommy and Alex, I don't know how welcome I'd be!
I find the smaller bikes just as much fun to ride as I do the BM.

Hey I don't have a problem, as long as I can sneak up and write "TIT" on the back of your helmet in Tippex when you're not looking.
More the merrier is my motto.

Yep, it is a scooter and its exactly like the one in the picture- blue, with four gears and nippy, minimal fuel usage . In fact, its so light and easy to ride that I've given up riding both my Fazer and my dirtbike round London , and The Old Bill usually assume I'm a pizza delivery driver so don't even bother stopping me when I take a short cut across the park. It is so uncool that its almost invisible.

I like it, I didn't realise Suzuki made that kind of scooter as well. Mind you I've still got this hankering for the Honda Ruckus/Zoomer.
So maybe there's a hidden scooterist within me?

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.
