Hendikaf, I'm not 100% sure to properly understand your comment, but 90% of chances its tone is not my cup of tea.
I gave 1st hand advise to Henryuk about how to get cash quickly in Iran, just extended a little bit with an anecdote (in YOUR thread, I know, out of place). Later I actually gave some continuity to your thread with (I reckon) a pretty "over-used" joke about BMW cardans since the bike has an engine car as shown in the picture. I don't know if it bothered you that a moderator asked you for photos, but sorry, don't blame me or anyone else. I actually supported you and your thread, maybe you missed that. FYI in general terms I do my best for my comments to be of some use, but of course I may fail as you point out. What is sure is that I'm not willing to have any argument with you, so it won't happen. I'll just move along as you requested.
PS: If I took it wrong due to a poor English understanding, then it's ok. Otherwise, it is not.

Customising bikes is still easy enough in the UK (law wise). Whilst I'm not suggesting I'm any good at fabrication/engineering, in the past I've done a hardtail chop ratbike, and made a sidecar from scratch. I've got an old mate who really knows his stuff, and I believe he is now working on his 4th diesel engined bike.
I always fancied making a trailbike using an old british engine (probably unit construction though), but fairly modern suspension etc. You'd get a lot of interest traveling on something like that.

I think that this was the sort of thing you were talking about, although I am not sure it fits the criteria of cheaper than a BMW but certainly different.

bike
yes Mark , it seems expensive sometime but in long run it may not be , I saw few bikes similar in the US and they were cheap to maintain and were performing pretty well , now if you got the $$$ you may as well by the KTM of your choice but it always good to have or make option

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.
