Chris, I`d love to, but can`t, but it is very tempting. I went to your show last Sat, and was prety impressed with some of your pics, but the thing that impressed me the most of all was your sugestion of taking old clothes, shoes etc down with you as charity, I`m not normally into charity, and detest all the kids etc demanding pens and money, but it is good to give things to people who deserve and appreciate it.

Chris,
I am still where I was last time - restoring my LC and kitting it out for dune bashing. Considering rather slow progress of the project I might be just about ready by October, Inshallah.
Rgds,
Roman

sorry to post here, but I cant get at my email let alone find the apostrophe!
- bring your waterproof long johns - its cold and wet but youll get the 25mph tailwind which we had as a 30mpg headwind
- rained last week on the fadnoun plateau
- sub-frame cracks around the pillion footrest bolts. sorry its too late for Ernie to reinforce but look out for it
- my oil burn has been due to a low-point in the crankcase breather filling with oil that then gets sucked up into the airbox: avoid sumps! only burns oil when loaded at rear
will probably go to south africa in june and ride back up. aiming to spend 2-3 months in niger and algeria. can I scout for your tour? can you at least bring me some more tyres?
have a good trip - getting boat tomorrow as had to abort after Neils woeful tenere and Martins broken leg.

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.
