Hi


I've compiled a compilation of my BEST Desertbiking in the Sahara pictures spread out over the last 19 years
(and updated my website Karims Desertbiking)

This link below takes you direct to the best photos page

ALL PHOTOS HERE ‎(Karim Hussain desertbiking.co.uk‎)

hope you enjoy them and now you know what I've been obsessed with all this time

I think my head is finally coming out of the Sahara...

cheers
Karim

I think the only way to describe that thing: "I hate you!"

Nah just kidding I am really just very Jealous!!! One serious question though.. how did you get to do Algeria in 2008? I though it is a "no way to do it Zone"!?!?

Hi Xander, correct, you can't DIY in Algeria (or Libya). He was on an organised tour of mine with 4x4s and half a dozen other 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.
