Nicest invite I've seen in a while!

Alas, I'm heading down mainland Mexico later this month. Maybe have to look you up next year. The beaches southwest of Todos Santos are a slice of heaven in the middle of winter.

Kindest regards,
John Downs

Ferry cabo san lucas to puerto vallarta

Hy Guys
My first post here, I see that lots of you have lots of experience in Mexico whether passing through or leaving down there escaping the cold and rain
I'm planning my first trip in March for 6 weeks on my F800 Gs from Bowen Island, BC, Canada to Panama, and back.... hopefully.....
Just made the decision to put the wheels in motion few days ago, and love to hear from guys advices and recommendations.
But first of all, is there a ferry from Cabo to Puerto or is it better to take it from La Paz to Mazatlan ?
Anybody out there took any of those with a bike ?
Thanks guys

Great forum by the way, and feel that I already know some of the characters by reading about them

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.
