New Tenere 900
The new Tenere 900 looks smashing! Better engine than KTM 890 and only 168 kilos dry weight...

When Kwik Fit try to sell me nitrogen fills for the tyres it amuses me to reply that I will go with an 80% nitrogen mix if that is OK. For the cars that I drive I don't think that the 20% nitrogen that I don't get in an air fill will make a significant difference to the performance - running the tyres at the right pressure is liekly to have a far, far greater effect.

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.
