BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

A Suzuki Address? That sounds suspiciously like a scooter.



You you can join too.

Thumbs up 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?

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.
