Long time no see.
Is that the one and only Ado "shaggy" Dunne from the class of '97 - '98 in Baldoyle?
The same Ado that I got thrown out with from the pub where we were having our xmas drinking session in 97?
The same Ado that challenged me and J Gleeson to a wrestling match outside the racecourse because we said your bird had a massive forhead?
Long time no see, I was just talking to Dave Fitz (FAS) about you a couple of weeks ago.
That beard suits you, I allways knew the lipstick and makeup was just a phase you were going through!
P.S. wicked video lads, looks like ye had some craic.

hahaha 74. That's mad. Ado's the one who made the video.
I'll pass the message on to the man himself.
yeah he wouldn't wear the lipstick/makeup for the camera. For some reason he thinks it makes him look like a sissy?!

Thanks for the comments lads. Glad you enjoyed it. There's another two episodes coming up.

Brilliant..!
Brilliant video! Truly loved it, it's certainly changed my European route to include Italy and possibly Montenegro etc. I wish I had your choice of music for my iPod whilst visiting these beautiful places.

Your video should be an inspiration to those whom haven't gone on a road trip yet, there's more ups than downs and you guys showed them all! I'm also sure that your new baby will love seeing the vid of Dad (in his younger days) in the years to come!!

Well done. and thank you for sharing your trip..!

Those videos are goood! You can be very proud, the editing is supersweet

Had a good laugh, it had ups and downs and the small features on the sightseeing was sweet too!

Your route has inspired me in regards to next years trip. Montenegro mostly.

Do you have any info on the ferry you took? Sights too see, things you wished you saw but didn't? Things to leave out?

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.
