She is one very tough rider. She crashed twice yesterday, one quite nasty. She got right up, brushed herself off, got back on the bike and continued. I'm betting she is pretty sore today.
I think she does Yoga to stay so flexible.

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.
