Oh Christ !! Well it was only a bit of fun... If people chose to "tamper" the results with multiple fake votes, theres not much I can do about it !
It was just for a vague idea is all... Looks like the BMW marketting machine is indeed stronger than I thought !!

Hmm, ...those lumpy BMWs are not so bad after all . Would be interesting to see how the different Beemer models do among themselves, i.e. F, G, R etc.

Vstrom party ... five more not shown here. We had about 10 on this ride
from back in 2003.
The hot bike of 2000 ... DRZ400E
November in California ... DR650's ... five on this ride ... only 3 shown.
Maybe we could have the guys over on the DR650 thread on ADV post up votes here? 4.5 million views, 38,000 posts. ALL DR650, ALL THE TIME!
Most of any individual bike thread on ADV.

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.
