I'm leaving Panama on Sept 15, heading south on KLR650. I plan on taking 4 - 6 months, and happy to meet up with anyone along the way (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina).

It's close to South America time for allot of us. Who is still going to be there? (I know things can change - good and bad.)
I'll be in quito on the 19th, probably stay there for a week or so then south to Peru. I would like to be in Ushuia for Christmas. I have no plans for afterwards - probably spend some more time around Patagonia and then head to BsAs and maybe Santiago (again). Will possibly be sending the bike to Australia or Africa. (Anyone want to split the cost of a Sea Can?)

Hola Amigos,
I´m in my 20th month of a slow trip from New Jersey, USA. I´m currently in Cuzco, Peru (Oct.15, 2008). I´ll be in Bolivia soon, and in Patagonia by February, at the latest.
Send me an e-mail if you´re in the neighborhood. I`ve met "PeerG" and "El Aleman - Jens" in the last few weeks. It´s always a pleasure.
Kev

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.
