An amazing trip and video! Thank you for sharing :-)
I had to fight the same questions. After some stuff happen in our life our trip timeframe was getting much smaller.
We had the chose to do a transafrica in 2 months - or to stay at home, doing the trip in some years.
We did the trip, it was a wonderful experience! You did a roundtrip in the same time  with a bike!
Time is the most valued stuff we have. I`m very jaelous for that people who are able to travel extended over years. I hope i can do it too - in the meantime i get that much i can.
I guess that we will see more and more of that short-time and long distance trips in the future. The people dont want to wait till they are retired - and sometimes there is 2 months the longest available timeframe.

Mind blowing. I'm planning the same trip leaving in about 6 weeks and I wouldn't have believed it possible to circumnavigate Africa and cross Europe twice in that time.
I'm sure that plenty told you that it could not be done. Heroic effort my friend.

This year I had big plans for adventure riding. My plans were dashed due to work and home remodeling. The KTM990 sits in my garage collecting dust. The only way I can enjoy the sport for now, is vicariously through people like you who get out and do it.
Thanks for posting that cool video, it keeps me sane......

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.
