Many of us have the dream to travel the world on two wheels. DVDs like Long Way Round (LWR) and Long Way Down (LWD) have lit a flame of adventure for many. Those videos show riding around the world on motorcycles in a very polished manner, including back up systems that a normal Joe like myself could never even think about affording. Although they\u2019re great entertainment for a cold February night, they are far from \u2018real world\u2019 informative.<\/p>\n
For those itching to try a long haul, multi-country or a full-blown \u2018round the world (RTW)\u2019 motorcycle trip\u2026 the information void has now been fabulously filled.<\/p>\n
Grant and Susan Johnson, veteran RTW travellers and the founders of Horizons Unlimited (www.horizonsunlimited.com), have just released the first of a four part series called \u2018The Achievable Dream\u2019 with part one titled \u2018Get Ready!\u2019. This two hour, forty-three minute DVD is about as down to earth \u2018real\u2019 as you\u2019re ever going to get and is absolutely packed with invaluable information. Watch and listen to veteran RTW riders talk of their own experiences, in their own way. Find out what the magical \u2018Carnet\u2019 really means, how to get one and what it actually looks like. Listen to Susan, Grant and a bevy of riders illuminate the importance of border documentation, insurance, mental and physical health, medivac coverage, international drivers licenses, visas\u2026the list goes on.<\/p>\n
The \u201cAchievable Dream\u201d part one DVD is a heart-warming and inspiring video. It simply makes you want to chuck it all for an adventure. Watch Frank Butler print a digital picture and give it to a group of people who had never seen a paper image of themselves. Watch how a group of motorcyclists transform critical medical supply transportation for a hospital in a remote part of Africa by delivering some scooters. Listen to Ted Simons lovingly recall some snippets of RTW travel. The people depicted in this DVD are just like you and I with the exception of having lived the dream.<\/p>\n
Immerse yourself in the Achievable Dream for a few hours and I\u2019ll guarantee that you\u2019ll watch it way more than once. The \u201cAchievable Dream, Getting Ready!\u201d will help you understand all of the foreboding mysteries that go into long haul riding, or a true RTW adventure.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always been a big fan of Horizons Unlimited and routinely use the site for answers. Now Grant and Susan Johnson have taken it to a whole new level with the release of the \u201cAchievable Dream\u201d series and I am positively salivating for the next installment. The remaining three DVDs are scheduled for release this summer.<\/p>\n
