Although potentially a little harsh at times, best thread ever! I, too, laugh out loud regularly. Might actually have a look on Amazon to see what the fuss (or should that be Russ?) is about . . . .

No need to read the whole book to review it, an attempt should be enough.
"Constipated for 1 week, went to Tony P's library and grabbed one of the 8 copies of Rush's book hoping to reverse the indisposition scared by all the extreme adventure tales. Having read a couple of pages under strong dizyness, I ended up vomiting into my pants instead. After three weeks anally blocked and two weeks throwing up daily I am waiting for the softcover edition to carry it in the First-Aid-Kit we'll carry in our overland trip to India: should be very effective against food-poissoning , since a short reading would stop the most persistent/severe diarreha and would garantee a thorough stomach cleaning. Cannot recommend it as good reading, though. 1 star".

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.
