Accident in Russia.
Not sure where to post this, here is as good as anywhere on HU.
Very sad news, there appears to a connection between Mike & HU? Thread is from the Adventure Riders site:

Steve, thanks for the post letting everyone know about this.
It's terribly sad to hear news about accidents and tragedies on the road, especially when we know the people. Some of you will have read Mike's story in the Travellers Stories section about his crash in China on his first attempt at the Globeride two years ago, and the medjet evac back to the US. And now again. Can't begin to understand how hard and frustrating that must be for Mike, on top of the difficulties he's having in his recovery, and with contiunued surgeries. Mike was planning on presenting at our Revelstoke Travellers Meeting, but I doubt that will be happening now. But you never know - he's a tough and resilient guy, let's hope he recuperates quickly and is able to make it!
Good to hear that Pawel is recuperating well.
Our heartfelt condolences to Dennis Bishop's' family, it's a terrible tragedy, one that will never really heal. Our best wishes and sympathy.
Grant and Susan
Horizons Unlimited

Very sad news, I had the same expereance crossing the Andes in Colombia, some big trucks use have of the way you are using in a both ways road , when they are doing a close turn. You allways have to drive very close to the write hand side in order to avoid this risk.

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.
