I reckon Geoff should have entered 3AJ number two, it has the S10 front end fitted & probably the best mod that can be done to a 3AJ.








Twin disk 3AJ




Go Jiff.

I must say that it's a pity Geoff didn't pay as much attention to his write up about the bike than the actual restoration (the hard bit). It would be nice to learn a bit of history on the bike and the work carried out.

Geoff's is the ONLY one listed there without a proper detailed write-up.

Come on Geoff, put it right for us all...

Ya hey, but that was before seeing the assembled product in it's entirety. That all blends and compliments each other extremely well now, great vision on behalf of Geoff

Now to use the bike in anger

Hi guys .... thanks for all the nice comments & votes & thanks to Mez for
standing in for me & replying to posts while I'm struggling over in Majorca
I would have posted a longer write up on the competition page, but I never expected to get this far. It's in the motor cycle news today for anyone in the uk.

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.
