Thelma's BMW Ad
Hi Folks
BMW chose Thelma (my 1992 R80GS) to feature in a short documentary, in fact they made five documentaries altogether about various BMW's though it turns out Thelma is the sole representative in the bike department. The trailer for the documentaries is on the BMW.TV website though not on the British version. It's easier to find on youtube
YouTube - BMW unscripted. Trailer.
The full documentary will be out in December or January. I'll let you know the date once I find out, apparently it's unusual for BMW to feature cars and bikes in an advert.
Enjoy...

Nice one Tiff, maybe a 'cockney' accent would have been better!

Modest as ever, I suspect you were as much part of the choice as Thelma. Enjoyed the ad.

Cool! Looking forward to the full documentary and glad they didn't go down the obvious 1200GS/celeb. route.
Regards, Mick

I think I sound so English because I'm the only Brit, the others are from USA, S Africa, Germany and Italy. I was just relieved to find that I'm not sounding too "West Country" which has been commented on in other videos!!

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.
