Nice work Neil!
I too have a website for the Aussies... it lists all the Aussie soldiers killed in WWI and shows which cemetery they are buried in.
In their honour

In Turkey, there is no difference between them and Mehmets who have lost their lives in Gallipoli..They are heroes of the holy lands here and all cemetery well cared..
Sayings of the founder of the Republic of Turkey, M.Kemal Atatürk is the best message to the whole word, peace at home, peace on the world....
SO LET'S SAY... "those who have lost their lives instead of those who are killed."
All the best..

When I first read that as a teenager, I was very moved.
It is indeed a great sentiment!!

Well said Warin. History is full of mistakes and no one has been immune to that. We must learn and proceed because one thing is for sure, it cant be changed.
A group of 10 bikers (150-200cc) will be attending the occasion including my 84 years old father who would be flying.
Would invite friends driving from east to join MAPPERS (MAP is Motorcyclists Assoc of Pakistan) and we cross Iran and Turkey together.
Cheers
Omar

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.
