Two way radio

Hi,
I have searched these forums (and the rest of the Internet) far and wide to try and learn about two way radios. I am confused as to what I should get to suit my needs and am hoping someone can help me out here.

I go camping on stations that are quite isolated and rely on two way radio to keep in contact with whoever is at the campsite when I go off on my motorbike. At the moment, I have a pair of Oricom PMR1000 that have just broken down. These are supposed to have a 7km range (line of sight) but is really only effective over a couple of kms. Obviously being on a bike, I quickly get out of range.

I suppose I need some sort of radio system that is effective at 7 or 8 kms (NOT line of sight) from the campsite (often hilly country). What kind of radio system should I be looking at?

Cheers.
