Heavily loaded cars en route to Tunisia - good pics

Hi all

This is hardly comparable with posts about kidnapping in the Sahara but, as a diversion, made me laugh the other day - Heavily loaded - BBC News as it so reminded me of what I saw at Genoa in 2007 - https://overlandcruiser.wordpress.co...ch-april-2007/ then click on the 'Alps to Genoa' album http://picasaweb.google.com/ilesmark...t=embedwebsite:-)

I believe that is the train that Microsoft chartered for their annual 'technical support phone line' staff party.

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.
