Puerto Rico / Stupid things happen (to me)

Grrr- booked a flight to Puerto Rico instead of Costa Rica. How can I get out of PR to South America or Central America? Just me- no bike involved.Would like to go to Columbia or Nicaragua.
Are there rental bikes on Puerto Rico?
Thanks. Be warned. It sounds the same but it´s not same same. It´s different.

Puerto rico options

Sorry about the mixup. Last I checked, which was about 1.5 years ago, the ducati dealership offers rentals at fairly economical prices. They had multistradas as well as other models. The island has great roads especially in the less populated west. However, it is small so about 10 days is more than adequate. I have a dr650 there that I use to tour and if you need more info, shoot me a pm.

Ride Safe,
Rob

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! You must really be kicking yourself

Well doesn't matter where you are, any adventure is all the more memorable when you don't know where you are or what to expect.

I have help at hand... learn geography and have fun doing it with this Traveler IQ game

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.
