Please, I do not want at all to sound offensive, but after the few answers you got and not clearly stating "go with the GSA"... I guess your decision was crystal clear for you much before. It had to be the GSA.

Being that the case, think with your heart and go ahead with it (not that I share your feelings/opinion, but) it's your trip so enjoy it with the bike you like.

Hi

Riding Centro America on Suzuki 125 . Usually ride a V strom 650 or 1000. some of the roads I have been on I am glad I had a light bike and one easily repairable locally.

Also seen a few riders on the big bikes but no one off the really beaten and you seem to be a target for border helpers and police.

but it is so great here and a bike is definitely the way to travel.

Peter

Estebangc, next time you have to use the phrase " I do not want at all to sound offensive", it's better if you just don't post it. Not on this topic or any other topic.
Somebody once told me, "If you have nothing good to say, don't say it, and I think that was a wise advise.

Why is it 'better if you just don't post it'? The man has his opinion and he's entitled to voice it. This site is a democracy. Estebangc's been on this site a long time, and his advice/suggestions are just as relevant than yours.

Any chance of taking the same advice that "somebody once told" you? Thanks for your understanding.

Decision was made, who cares when.
To quote a word famous cuckold, "At this point does it really matter".

Have a safe ride GreenD, prep the bike and dont be afraid to hang out and stay longer if you find a nice beach or a place you really enjoy. Less timeframe and more good times.

Green Devil, please try to read my post avoiding any susceptibility. I just wish you a great trip with the bike you love, following your heart (since your heart had already said GSA). Thanks for your advice anyway. I was actually trying to avoid susceptibility and probably it triggered it. Believe me, I did not mean to be harsh. Happy travels.

Thanks, Kalahari, I guess you got my point and the absence of any underlying thoughts.

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.
