Yeah it does look a little like a GS
I had a good time writing the narration for that video. I was cracking myself up. I guess I just like to make fun of those guys who are fanatically loyal to a certain brand of bike. It's all about having a good time, and that can be done on any type of bike.
Also BMW can go a little overboard with it's advertising campaigns. I just wanted to see if I could out do them.

Just for your future information, Ted Simons bike was a unit construction 500cc bike ( actually 490cc), I had one back in 1961 and they were great bikes.

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.
