Albert how about some location info. I am flying the KLR (and me) from Panama to Bogota around the first week of Nov. Should be in Quito a few days later. Maybe you can show me how/where to get the best picture of an equator monument.

What RickMcD said; if there is a ferry to Cartegena, I would be real interested. Expect to be in Panama City in 2 weeks +/-. Any other info, such as where in Panama it leaves from? I know some people have taken private boats across, but am not aware of any ferry service.

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.
