Been pretty busy lately with looking after my wife who's been in the hospital for over a month now .....
Plan on tearing back into the motor this week....so I can expedite the head to the machine shop.

I'd say!! She looks like a pensioner with too much jewelry on. Geoff's doing a brilliant rebuild job, don't get me wrong, I just don't like his particular choice of colours tho. I mean, gold brake calipers? The old dear must be sulking big time, even if it is a rather good rendition of gold plating.....on calipers? Oh noooooooo. And BLING wheels? They are nice, very mucho in a vogue kinda way, would look good on an urbanised 4x4 in da hood, but on Her Majesty Green? Oh nooooo, he's killed her for sure.

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.
