Anyone else heading south through Central America starting January? Getting a late start from Alaska around that time. PM me if interested in riding together any/part/all.

Hi Josh,

I'll be doing the trip as part of www.shipwreckrally.com. Check it out, but it would be great to link up.

Cheers,
Stefan

Looks like an awesome cannonball run. I'm taking 4.5 months for the entire trip, so I'll probably be going at a bit slower of pace. Leaving in January and heading as far south as winter allows. Good luck in the rally.

mexico in January
I hope to be flying in to Las Vegas, Nevada by January 31,2014 from Vancouver Island B.C..

My intention is to get my bike(in storage in a garage ) ready to enter Mexico by about Feb 10,2014.

I was planning to go into Baja Cal on my way to Cabo San Lucas onto Puerto Vallarta.

I have about 3 months to spend in Mexico, so I will have time to see and do things along the way.

I am on a KLR650.

Please PM me, because this is my first post I am not able to PM anyone until I have my 5 posts in!!!

Mexico in January
Some basic info:

I have been to Mexico 12 times,
once through Baja California on a 3 week trip
with 5 others on similar bikes.(drz 400 BMW F650 KLR 650).

I have a reasonable ability/facility with Spanish and really enjoy Mexico,
it's people, the music, and the culture.

I am 57 and speak French,English, and Spanish.

I have been to 24 countries thus far.

Yes, Hi!

We (Trans-Continental Mambo) are spending Xmas in Puerto Escondido (Oaxaca, MX) which is several days out from Guatemala. We are certainly open to hanging out and travelling with like minded people and should be in Guatemala before Jan 1st. We are on Suzuki DR650s with big clear (beige) gas tanks. Certainly flag us down if you see us, or send a PM.

In Mexico, we only have random wifi (stupid - should have bought mobile plan) but might get one in GT.

Farkles.

Olemeole: Sounds like you will be a few weeks behind me. I plan to cross over into Mexico around the middle of January and spend about a month there while heading south. Maybe we will see each other on the road. Buenos suerte.

Farkles: If I catch up to you guys I will be sure to flag you down. Leaving Seattle January 12.

New Jersey to Buenos Aires
Hi:
I am in Santa Ana, El Salvador.
I retired from my engineering job in NJ, and left for Buenos Aires december 1st.
Mine is a one way trip, as I am going to settle in Argentina.
Hope to make it to Panama in a few days and then fly my bike, a Suzuki Vstrom, to Colombia.
So far I have been riding alone. I have not seen any other riders going south.
Hope to see somebody along the way.
Juan Carlos

I am in the flow yet ? lol I always have space for riders tenting on my beach..yep
I am living with my bike in my trailer in Baja. How sick is that ? Living north of Cabo. I may be ready to go out of here Jan 17 but it will take till Jan 25 th to get out of Puerto Vallarta area. But then it would be bugs on my teeth time again.I wouldn't be long getting to Chiapas and from there maybe to Belize , Guatamala, Tikal. I just wanted to get a sense of who is on the move.Riding A 2006 BMW 1200 GSA, not my first rodeo. Might be nice to trip with other riders awhile, i tend to blow by alot .

Good luck,

At your rate of travel you could catch up to sethmam.

Search his name and posts, he is near Huatulco.

I'm sure you both would benefit from the company!!

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.
