I fired up the Betamax to tape it. Obviously not expecting any useful or realistic content but will watch it anyway.

I also recorded it, I actually felt sorry for Charly B, being stuck with that stupid bitch, he could not have been blamed if he had booted her out the 4x4 and left her. on the brighter side, the next in the series can only get better.

They obviously haven't ridden the A38 between Liskeard and Bodmin on a bank holiday!
Hope it gets shown here in Canada sometime this winter. It'll help me fight the winter blues.
Kindest regards

Watched it last night and didn’t feel like I’d completely wasted an hour of my life.
I struggled a little with how many times the narrator used the “Extreme” word and also with CB’s “When I did the Dakar Rally” comment.
Let’s remind ourselves that this is a pretty busy route with many thousands of tons of freight trundling up and down it each year with few incidents. Yes, they could have dropped it off the road or got twatted by a big f*ck-off truck, but "into the jaws of death" it wasn't.
I'll watch the rest of the series though; got to have something to look at while I'm eating me tea. :-)

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.
