Adventure Motorcycling
Everything you need to plan and complete the journey of a lifetime.
One world, two Wheels
Are you a traveller on two wheels? Have you been thinking of an odyssey to distant climes – the markets of Marrakech,
the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan, the salt flats of Bolivia, the Bungle Bungles of Australia? Did you finally fork out for
that dream bike built for high adventure, and you know every highway and byway within range of an annual vacation? Is something
indefinable calling you farther afield…to the next country…the next continent?
But you've got questions:
Is it safe?
What do I need to know?
Where and when should I go?
And what the hell’s a carnet anyway?
This is the definitive how-to, presented by Grant and Susan Johnson, the people that brought you www.HorizonsUnlimited.com;
the web's premier source of reliable, unbiased information on all aspects of motorcycle travel.
This DVD is a tape of a live seminar, (so it's not slick and fancy) at the 2005 Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Meeting in the UK, one of many HU
Travellers Meetings held around the world. Grant and Susan's seminar covers just about everything you need to know about overland travel,
by a couple of motorcycle adventurers who spent 11 years doing it, and run the world's premier international motorcycle travel website.
If you can't make it to a Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting, then you'll want to watch this DVD again and again, notepad
in hand!
A selection of a few of the subjects covered include:
Where and When to go, paperwork and passports, carnets and more; safety on—and off—the road, what you must know;
shipping the bike – tips and tricks to avoid problems; border crossings; packing tips – what to pack and where to
put it; camping tips; which bike? money – how to get it in Timbuktu; cultural do's and don'ts; photography.
Be warned, viewing this may be a life-changing experience.

As you can see by these comments, we’re guilty as charged:
"I just finished watching "The Achievable Dream" last night and I very
much enjoyed it... When I sat down to watch the DVD, I was a bit worried that watching a
seminar on TV would be as boring as watching paint dry. BUT it took me about 5 seconds to feel as I was really attending the seminar myself.
And most important: It had that down to earth, actual, been there, done
that firm advices that I like." Rikard Zimdahl, Sweden
“This'll get your mind out of 'reality' and back into travel where it belongs... inspirational; don't leave home without watching it!" Ekke, Canada
"The video was extremely informative and a 'must see' for any future traveler." Gary, Australia
"I received my DVD and absolutely love it! Whether
people who are bikers are planning to go cross
country, around the earth, or just on a day trip,
there's valuable information in this for all. And the
more knowledge we can have, the better riders we all
are!
Best wishes to you and thanks for the DVD and terrific
web site, as well."
"I have just received your DVD, many thanks. It's very informative and extremely relevant for my trip planning." Paul, NZ
"Just finished watching your DVD, excellent tips and tricks of the trade, can't wait to put them into practise. Keep up
the good work." Edward, Germany
"Hola Susan y Grant! I should drop couple lines just to let you know the video is brilliant! After watching the video
it's like I know you guys forever! Great DVD, it just makes you want to get in a bike and go cross some borders! Great job!
Now I just have to convince the boss ("my wife") that biking back to my homeland is a good
idea...hehe! Anyway thank you again for those great tips. PS: Hey Grant, I’m glad to
hear that you really enjoyed traveling thru "mi lindo Ecuador" Francisco, Ecuador / Canada
The DVD arrived this morning... and Steve
has been glued to the screen all afternoon. We both watched most of
it. With our adult sons coming and going and neighbors dropping by for
Christmas visits, etc. it's been a bit difficult to just sit and enjoy
the whole thing in one big gulp but WOW! it's so inspiring and fun to
get into!
...Thanks again for the great service and all the information and advice!" Rosemary, Canada
"Received the DVD today... Fantastic, absolutley brilliant... Words, and my spelling, fail me to really do the DVD justice...
Thanks for the prompt delivery." Vince, UK
"I just wanted to say thanks so much for the DVD.
I'm planning a 2 month solo ride around Europe on my BMW R1200GS. It's small scale compared to some of the stuff I've read about on Horizons Unlimited, but still, it's my first big tour! ...I've learned a lot from it, and it's given me a real insight to get going. I was worried that it'd get a bit boring watching a long presentation, but I was completely hooked from beginning to end, pen and paper at the ready. I'm just about to watch it for the 2nd time now!" Jonny, UK
