Great job Andi & Ellen!
Our thoughts are with you guys as TwoMotoKiwis hits phase 2 (it probably feels like your on phase 8 already!)
After all the shennanigans of the last few months get back to the task of enjoying yourselves..... 
Ellen are you back close to 100% now after the big off ?
The bike/luggage setup looks sweeeeeet!!!
Suerte!
Grif & Lisa XX

I am very happy for you that you sorted it all out in the end and can see the positive side of it! I wish you good luck with Maya and everything!Get better soon ( I know exactly how you feel right now, when the tension of the stress disappears). Keep the sunny side up and have fun! I hope I will meet you on the road! I am still in Queretaro and waiting for parts. They shpuld be here by monday. Have not heard from KTM yet who is gonna reassemble the bike. I do not want to do it myself as it was a KTM dealer who messed it up (guarantee) and I guess that KTM Austria will find a solution.
How are your plans? I wonder if I should change mine cause I lost so much time!
Wonder if it makes sense to fly from Panama to Santiago de Chile or so, ride down to the tip and take my time on the way back to the north. Otherwise I would have to stress like an idiot and miss the best part!
Another option would be to go as far as I feel for, park the bike secured, fly home in june, attend my sister´s wedding and come back to finish the trip. Then I have to know which country would make least problems leaving the bike...
Any ideas?

Heya all
Yeap great to be turning tires again, today we reached Ensenada in Mexico, about 10 deg C all day, me feelin second hand with a monsta head cold.
Will take a few days to down Baja, La pAz -> Mazatlan then down again.
Ellen is 95% now and the last 5% will take the time.
norschweger yes been following your issues too, sad to see, fortunately Dillon at Zens took care our ours swiftly and nicely.
We are not to far behind you and would love to catch up, today we are in Ensenada, tomorrow heading south again.
We have two waterpumps shafts and seal on board if these are of help.
As far as you other options, see when you get you bike back together and make plans then.
Cheers Andi

Hey All
Thanks for all the support, very cool to say the least, not long now and I will remember how to write and ride and we will be game on again.
In between you will have to suffer through this.

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.
