I have also long thought CCM should get into making adventure bikes ... they have used the DRZ400 engine and Rotax 650 engine in the past ... and they are both ideal for adventure bikes.
Shall we put together a petition to go to CCM?

Wouldnt be such a bad idea.. Even Triumph are on the scene now. They have 2 Adventure bikes on the way and to be unvailed in September/October.
OOOOOO how I would love Triumph to make a decent "PROPER" adventure bike. Exciting stuff.

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.
