Postie Bike Challenge OZ 2010

Hi all.

Perhaps some of the moast adventurous might be interested in some fun, not so much for me but these will be some areas that I plan to travel on my GS 750.
Top End Darwin Adventurewww.postiebikechallenge.org/Brisbane to Darwin 25 Sept - 6 Oct 2010
The Postie Bike Challenge is a truly unique experience. It is not a tour or a rally. There is nothing we can say that will ever prepare you for the way you'll feel travelling through the outback, sun in your face, awe-inspiring expansive landscape, having not seen another rider for the past hour, or riding in a pack through pristine world heritage rainforest. Since 2002 adventurous motorcyclists from all walks of life leave behind their "everyday lives" to take part in the Postie Bike Challenge, to ride 3-4000 kilometres through some of Australia's most spectacular country.

Originally started as a one-off event to prove that small motorcycles could travel long distances over both bitumen and dirt roads, the Postie Bike Challenge has gained a life of its own through the enthusiasm of motorcycle riders from all over the world. gained a life of its own through the enthusiasm of motorcycle riders from all over the world.

If you'r thinking of taking part or are passing through Brisbane and you would like a place to camp o/night and or share a meal then give me a call

Thought the bikes looked impressive, though I'm not an expert.
Just wondering what's the nearest thing to them in the UK?

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.
