We just decided for Option 1.

Option 2 would be OK if Euan McGregor, Charley Boorman, but better John Cleese or Michal Palin would come along and say:

"Hey Sascha we have been waiting for you all the time, take the bike over there and let´s go!"

Have a Google for "blackbox camera" there's a selection available for in vehicle use which might be suitable, also both Android and iPhone have apps which will do the same thing. I'm guessing quality might not be the best, but maybe worth a look?

Ive got a camer I have filmed on board bike stuff with before and intend to film as much of my trip as possible.

As for "publishing" it I guess it depends of the presentation and post production, which again I intend to arange prior to going.

There's definately a hunger for this type of stuff. you only have to watch the "dangerous roads" BBC series on currently. But most folks either dont want to actually do it or can't for a whole host of reasons.

Travellogues have always gone down well from the longway round back to Michael Palin's journeys and going even further back to Whickers World.

As for getting paid - well its a dream of most I guess, but sponsorship and getting paid for it generally seems to require a certain amount of celebrity status to start with.

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.
