I am finding it difficult to relate to that.

Not really sure what to say to someone who doesnt obey gravity.

Not really OBT we know but he's got a new one out - more mind-boggling, off-the-wall moves.

You can't take it all in in one go - I can only conclude he's made some sort of pact with the devil ;-)

Actually it's Red Bull as you might expect, but at least he wears it lighter than most.

Brilliant....

about four weeks ago on the plane back from Orlando, having taken the grandchildren to Disney seeing a fella reading MBUK I got chatting to him and he told me about Danny.Until looking through the threads I had forgotten about him so finding this was brilliant.What a bike rider he needs to now progress to bikes with an engine because it maybe more lucrative for him.

More in the same vein...

No overlanding content, but quite a lot of 'landing'.

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.
