More blogs
The first blogs of our trip through Europe are online now. Hopefully we should be blogging more regularly and consistently from now on as I have got my act together on the writing front.

Hope some of you enjoy reading them, having a great time, now sunning ourselves in Kos enjoying a proper beach holiday. What intrepid adventurers we are. Just waiting for a ferry to Turkey. More blog entries will follow shortly.

Joel (and Han) great reading, and love the photos, this one makes me feel like we've stepped back in time, something about the light, the lid and the tache I think.
feels like it's 1973.

Are those Bolle Goggles Birdy? How the hell did you get them to fit properly?!? I got some with a new open face lid, have had to buy a pair of Oakley MX goggles.
Nice account of the encounter with the mysterious creature, very spine chilling lol

Well, I will quite happily settle for a comparison to the Motorcycle Diaries. Not sure how much resemblance Han bears to Che, or how much she would like me even considering it!
As for the Bolle goggles, I did about 10 000 miles in them with the Arai, and found them a bit lacking. The plastic backing is sweaty in hot countries, and doesn't have enough of a seal to keep sand out - I damned them in Western Sahara with horrible side wind sandstorms. I no longer have them - I've been rocking the Raybans after an unfortuant gust stole the Bolles on an Italian Autopiste. I wouldn't recommend them for riding, but I had them from my Army days, they work lovely with a C95 helmet on top cover in a Warrior!

Some blogs up of Sudan.
Website may be a little dodgy, all blogs have photos, but they might not come up first time you try.
Thanks for the correct address Alex!

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.
