If anyone is interested. Here's a link to my blog. I'm currently on a three month trip on my VStrom thru Mexico and Central America, Jan - Mar 2022. Cheers!

Nice job! I’ve been following and like the route you’ve choose. Curious, the day you went from Urique to Batopills, it sounded difficult, do you think it would be less difficult traveling north over that section?

Actually I think it would be even more difficult. Because the last part going towards Urique is a lot of downhill.
Thanks for following.
(So now I have a broken front fender and going to have to try to keep re duct taping it yet once again. :-(
Along with chain adjustment there goes my day off in San Miguel de Allende.
Oh well.)

Keep an eye on my blog. I'll go to Guatemala for sure and maybe Honduras. Depends on how much of a hassle the crossings are. Plus my wife says she doesn't want me gone more than three months! Haha.

On it. El cielo is the most relaxed crossing into Guatemala I’ve done but one time Guatemala had shut down the bank trailer there and I had to taxi ride to El Naranjo to get to a bank to pay the entry fee
Also I see you have a Nicaragua flag. If you make it that far remember to preregister to enter on the internet or it takes 2-3 hours
In Honduras bikes don’t pay at toll booths. There is a left or right path for us to take usually a dirt path
Safe travels and for all my times blowing through to and from the states the only problem I had was dirty cops in Mexico trying to squeeze me for $400.00. I pointed at my go pro and said, I wasn’t speeding and your on tape trying to blackmail me.
Smooth sailing otherwise

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.
