Transafrica, Sudan in April 10

Hi Folks,

crossing from Saudi to Sudan end of March/ beginning of April. One man on a Yamaha Super Tenere. Anybody around that area at the time? Learned to know that another german is heading the same way. Like to catch up with some folks in Sudan for Ethopia. I am not in a rush and have time to make it to Capetown till X-Mas 10.

Cheers,

Jan

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.
