Mexico; Leave Texas Nov 20 towards Belize
Anyone want to come along? I am driving a KLR650, I am flexible as to which way to go, but currently leaning towards Eagle Pass. I would like to take about a week to get to Belize.
I have motorcycled around Baja last year, but since there is a Formula 1 car race to watch in Austin Texas on Nov 18, I thought this would be fitting and keep heading south afterwards.
Cheers

I didn't realize Formula 1 was in Austin, very cool!
If you make it further south, stop in Antigua, Guatemala (definitely a popular spot to relax a few days) and visit us in Moto Cafe. Good to share some stories with fellow motorcyclists, join us for a ride, or just have a !
Always great to meet other riders.

Safe travels!

Send me a PM with your email address.
I can send you a PDF ride guide I just finished that will give you some good routing ideas and will make the best case against riding the Mex #180 coast highway.

Klred, sounds like you've made the trip before. I'll be following at the end of the month along the Pacific Coast to Guatemala.

Do you know of any restaurant or fast food chains in Mexico that have wifi? I want to be able to check in to email, etc., along the route.

You can find free wi-fi at most MacDonalds restaurants and also the Italian Coffee chain of restaurants. Just get into a commercial area and you will likely find a signal or two that is open and ready to use. Some municipalities offer limited wi-fi in the area of the city halls (palacio municipal) near the zocalo (town square).
If in doubt, ask a kid at a Pemex, they usually have it well scoped out.

I'll do that. It seems I need one more posts before I am able to send a PM. It's an anti-spam measure.

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.
