Safe Travels Ted!
Looking forward to learning from your Ride Report. I'd like to do the same trip. Curious why you go to Italy and then cross on Ferry it Africa? Maroc no good?
Looking forward to updates.

WOW !! Thanks for all the replied !!
First day wasnt so great. FROZE my arse off riding down to London wearing my gear which was bought for Africa..
I discovered my Wolfman tankbag's £15 rain cover blows if you go faster than 20mph and that my ear plugs just transmit ALL the wind sound from my helmet LOL ...
I got to my travel partners place and he said "Hey, my brakes have been spongy for a few weeks, what you reckon ??"
HE HAS NO BRAKES ! Master Cylinder is totally shot . He thinks their fine and "He doesnt use them much anyway".. Christ, I didnt expect things to get so interesting so soon LOL..
So, its up at 6am to make the ferry to Spain !! That's if Neil doesnt ride off the jerry into the English Channel, finally realising his his brakes are useful at times

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.
