MotoAfryka2005 movie

helo,
Just finished editing the movie about our trip from Poland to Cape Town on 2 Yamaha TT600R.
You can watch the movie from my site http://motoafryka2005.prv.pl -> MOVIE or download it. The movie is quite long so buy yourself few s, order a pizza, put your headphones and enjoy!

thx Bossies,
so I will translate what my friend Kloszard is saying in the movie: "sorry guys, but I have forgotten to switch off the iron at home";

english subtitles should be ready in about 2/3 weeks;

There's something to be said for watching it the original without subtitles. I am enjoying the video a great deal - not speaking anything but English myself.

Sometimes you don't need to to know what's being said to understand and enjoy perfectly well. This is a good example.

Examples of when it is positively best NOT to understand would include songs by Shakira, but that's a different point.

Simon,

Wait for the english version - the dialogues are just as entertaining as te pictures. E.g. a debate which way to undo a screw and if it applies to nuts as well. These guys are undobtedly proud of achieving the goal despite all odds, especially the steep curve of learning mechanical skills on the hoof.

Great movie - really enjoyed it despite only speaking english. Good choice of background music makes up for that though!.
Seeing all those clutch parts so often early on I was a bit worried that it was all going to end in mechanical tears early on.

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.
