12V electrical stuff you can find @ http://conrad.com . Click Car/Automotive electrical/Automotive connectors. The surface mount plug 844250 - I5 is compatible with the one used by BMW, as far as I know. I bought one myself, but haven't used it yet.
As for the lantern, I think I'm going to roll my own: plug from Conrad, cable, socket from an old indicator and a bulb. Costs next to nothing.
I'm happy with my Coleman petrol stove. But make sure to buy one with legs. I have the one without and it's unstable. Take a spare generator for it with you, as they don't last forever.

Salut from Southern France, the bikers' paradise,

Blue and White soft panniers and matching telescopic tankbag to suit a tenere, (3aj). They are in very good condition and may be of use to you. Something like £25 for each item. Regards, Nick.

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.
