Starting the blog - with an outline of the TransAM 07 plan - and how I get the plan into shape.

Alaska to Argentina via South Africa!!!!Well - I talked about a blog long enough - it is time it actually happened!

I chose using Horizons Unlimited http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/index.shtml as a site for the blog as it is very appropriate - a site full of interesting stories about motorcyclists travelling the world.

I had gone to a couple of Horizons Unlimited functions, and met a few people who are active members - all very contageous when you are planning a motorcycle adventure.

The whole TransAm 07 idea started when the project I was working on had a stumble - Koniambo stumbled in Sep 06 - I had been working on it for over 3 years - and saw 4 years to go - so as fate would have it, a stumble provided an opportunity.

I was aware of the TransAm expeditions some time ago - and eagerly followed Kevin & Julia Sanders adventures through their Globebusters website. When Koniambo stumbled, I contacted Kevin - he managed to get me a slot - and the plan was underway.

I will keep this first entry short - just a trial to get the blog working. The next one will be more about the TransAm plan, the new bike (and the 2 still in Aus), South Africa and the countdown - less than 100 days to go!
