I'm a bike a holic
I've noticed that several of you have a few bikes listed in your signature block and I have a few myself. There always seems to be a thread going about which bike to purchase for a trip. I've been riding most of my life and until a few years ago did most of that off road blasting down trails and over jumps on a RM/KX/YZ 125 or 250. Off road bikes appeal to me so when I started looking for a bike to ride on the street the Dual Sports had my attention. I bought a bike while I was living in Costa Rica to zip around on but it would not really haul my fat ass over the mountains esp if I picked up a cute hitch hiker. On a trip home I bought an XT600 to take back with me - things changed and I'm still here in Mississippi
Now it seems I have a whole flock of bikes and I think I have a problem. I cant seem to stop and I have resorted to hiding my bikes so my friends dont know that I have another one Here is the list
1996 Heritage Softail, 1989 Yamaha XT600, 1970 Honda CL100, 1971 Honda CB200, 1963 Harley Sportster XLCH, 1999 Suzuki Katana 600, Kikker 5150 200cc Bobber , Kikker 5150 110cc Bobber (I have THREE of these)
When I sit at the computer I find myself looking at more bikes to buy
Are there any others with this problem??

When my bike broke down on the A5 last week, I phoned my missis and told her that she'd moved up to 3rd place in my list of favourite things..
She hung up !!
I don't know what I did to upset her...

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.
