My bike's moment of fame

Ok my bike is about to be on TV. If you want to see what it's about go to YouTube - Scottish Mice just love Scottish Cheddar for a sneak preview.

P.S it's the blue Tiger and no, it's not me riding it.

Hey, we're Scottish, what makes you think a lot of money changed hands.

The bike and I shall be available for autograph signing at the Ripley meet.
Seriously though, it's not me riding it, it was my brother who borrowed the bike for the advert. He still has the mouse suit though. I might get him to come to Ripley and do a talk on 'biker mice from Scotland' Or 'how to look cool on a Triumph' You can't see the number plate in the ad as they weren't too sure they could show it on TV. If you've ever seen the bike and you're British, you might understand their concern, although it isn't a private number it is a standard DVLA issue.

And there was me thinking how amazing ads are these days with all the high tech computer tricks that are used! ...that is hilarious - especially the clawing the truck at the end!

...and are those old ladies pointing and laughing at the mice or the BM?!!

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.
