Now then....I did say 'stumbled across' meaning we were unprepared and had no cameras...  
Andrew had ordered dinner for us in the local cafe for 2130 so we all rolled in expecting to find just that...a cafe. But of course this is Russia so the cafe had a bar, dance floor and DJ...and a female:male ratio of about 8:1 !!!! 
After a few piva's and a couple of bottles of vodka we had the DJ playing the Sex Pistols 'God Save the Queen' and the House of Pain's 'Jump Around'. Not sure the Russian's knew what to make of us!
They say beware of the quiet ones. Well let met tell ya, that lad Pete can throw down some shapes

Well done boys!
Arrived fine back in Irkutsk myself and met up with Felix. Trying to conjure a cunning plan for the next few weeks.
Also met DakarJoe and partner on their f800gsas. They are carrying as much shite as I am,including the obligatory alli boxes.
Also passed a German TLC heading West East.

Yes will be interesting to see how they go on those heavy beasts. Joe is a BMW off road instructor, but I dont think Corinna is at that level.
The boxes will take a beating. One thing is for sure, it wont be fun on those bikes. At best it will be hard work. At worst, misery.

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.
