Greetings from Wiltshire UK
Greetings from Wiltshire in the UK ![Thumbup1](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/thumbup1.gif)
Have been an occasional visitor on here for a while, current bikes are a Honda Varadero and a Yamaha TT600RE 'project bike'. Spotted a thread of interest in the Yamaha section and thought it rude not to post in the newbies section first.
Cheers all

Thanks Chris, no great trips planned at the moment, work commitments and a bad back are keeping me tethered currently but 'project bike' is keeping me sane and the dreams alive!

I was in Wiltshire for a week after the Aug BH enjoying a few of your splendid trails ![Smile](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The bike looks nice - it may be perspective of the photo but did it start out as something different?

Hi phoenix, 'project bike' started as a standard but rather sad looking Yamaha TT600RE but has had a bit of a slow time makeover with new seat, plastics, bars, guards, speedo, pivot pegs, Acerbis tank and Metal Mule rack and pannier system and probably a few other bits and bobs. It's something that has kept me happy in the garage tinkering for some time. I dream of riding it down to Morocco and 'doing some dunes' but need to find the time to explore Wiltshire's lovely lanes and plains on it first!
Before and after pics...........

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.
