Great pictures, especially the Rainbow Rd ones, I did that a few years ago on a bike, one of the best days ever on a motorcycle!

Hi All,
Today we had the RAC send us a nice email, on the last Friday before Christmas whilst we are in Colombia, to tell us that they have written to our bank to make a claim on our Bank Guarantee for a carnet used in 2012 -2013.
They did not tell us a claim had been made,
They did not allow us to defend the claim
They did not notify us before approaching our bank to claim the guarantee
They told us they don't send letters any more and just communicate by email (they were unable to provide any copies of emails to us), last year they told me they only communicate by post lol
We spoke to them last year when they withdrew the Bank Guarantee without notice, RAC Improved Carnet service & 10% off your Carnet | Overland Sphere - Overland Travel Forum & Information
They promised to improve their service, it seems to me its just going downhill.
With all of this we want to send a message to the RAC and would ask if you would sign and share our Petition on change.org
https://www.change.org/p/fia-rac-uk-...ter-rac-carnet
Sign this petition,
- show the RAC we want to be treated better,
- to break the monopoly that the RAC has,
- to have a free market in Europe and across the world on Carnets
- to make the RAC allow you to use other Carnet issuers without barriers
- to force the RAC to actually make contact or make all reasonable efforts to contact you prior to making a claim
For those thinking of getting a carnet in the UK go to the ADAC, write to the RAC and ask for a letter of “non objection”, legally they would find it very hard not to provide it to you.

Enjoying the views of Huascarán Nacional Parque & the Cordilleras (4500m).
We have had some fantastic, and sometimes quite scary drives since entering Peru :-)

If you were wondering,
Yes we are still travelling, after Colombia we head all the way down south to Ushuaia. From Buenos Aires we shipped to Durban and travelled through Africa (South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt etc).
We made out out from Egypt to Cyprus and our now in Turkey.
As you can imagine we have 1000's of photos to go through, here a few from Bolivia,

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.
