Hi guys, today I got good news - I will ride a motorcycle from Panama City to Tucson/USA !!! Great!!! I will leave right after Christmas, I have about 5 weeks.
Will start in Panama around 28th of december 2006.

Do not miss Antigua, Guatamala. I am currently in Costa Rica and may well head north around the end of Deciembre. Keep me posted if you need someone to go through Central Amercia with.

What model BMW do you have? I have a R100GS and live in Guanacaste. I even have a stash of parts. 670-1263

Copan is a major Maya archeological site. Copan Ruinas is located on the Western side of Honduras. Copan Ruinas is a very small town but quite nice. Plenty of hotels and restaurants. The ruins can be reached on foot from the town. I also would recommend Antigua. I would recommend "Casa Rustica" hotel owned by Darryl Hicks a bike enthusiast who has internet, cable and small bar in the center of town.

(there will be perhaps a 3rd bike)


Thanks for your help!

I am currently staying at the Hotel Cacts- 300 meters north of Pizza Hut on Paseo Colon. Bareo Mexico, San Jose Costa Rica. They have secure Parking reasonable rates. If you get to San Jose in the next two months look me up. If you need Information on riding in Costa Rica see Thorsten or Thomas at Wild-Ridre.com their business is on Paseo Colon about 100 meters east of the KFC down from Sabana park.
My ride is a 1993 R100GSPD- I could use rear Brake shoes. Also if any one needs a Shock for this bike I have a brand new Works in Colombia at a friends house. I am not going to be able to pick it up this trip and do not want to pay further shipping.
