Anyone in Central America/West coast of the states
Hey all,
we've just completed 6 months and 25,000kms in South America and we're about to jump on the boat from Cartagena to Panama to start the next bit.
We're heading through Central America over the next 6 weeks before doing the west coast and up to Anchorage by early August. If there is anyone who's local in those areas or is riding a similar route,we'd love the company or someone new to have a with. Any suggestions would also be great.
Trip details etc are at adelaidetoanchorage.com, or just flick up a post and we'll try to organise something.
Cheers.
Mick & Dave

Hey Guys!
I've did the same trip last year, just in reverse. Seattle to Argentina.
Make your way north and be sure to give me a ring/email, and we can meet up for s, and you'll have a place to stay!
I live 50km north of Seattle, and can show you the sights, escort you across the border into Canada, and tell you all there is to know about the Pacific North West.
Stay in touch!

If you want to come to Mexico City you are welcome to stay with us. I can meet you outside the city and guide you in. There is a lot to see here so don't believe what others may say about the horrors of Mexico City.

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.
