I Reached Ushuaia, it is Official and Here is the Photo to Prove it :)
Yep, I got here the other day, but it has taken me this long to go get the photo.
The distance on the sign is the length of the PanAmerican Highway from Prudhoe Bay to here.
I actually completed 37,390km, so not as straight as some eh
From here on I am heading up to BA, with some luck I may get to sell the bike down here, I will be coming back to the states, but on foot
Cheers

Good onya Richard - I bet it feels great to reach that sign - I know it did for us!
Best of luck with selling the bike - be careful. You could just ride it to the States - it's only a short jaunt up the road...
Going to be back in Aus in time to do a talk at the HU Meeting in April? Love to have you do a talk on your trip for us. See http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/meetings/presenters to do a talk, and http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/mee...tralia2010.php for some details on the meeting.

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.
