my plan is to store my bike in Uruguay in March, so i'm in no rush, hooking up thru Mexico and Cent. America would be good, i did it last year heading north

Well, I should be going there about the same time. I plan on crossing into Mexico late-mid September, through New Mexico and going south through mainland MX towards Guat. and points beyond, so I might be just ever so slightly behind you on a DR650.

hi paul,

good to know indeed that you are on the same voyage. don't know who the other two are both we will found out in a few months or perhaps even earlier. I will be in Guate too, sounds like a HUBB (mini) meeting!?

I will be riding a dr650 (too) but still in the phase of search and rescue.

i haven't decided where in Guate where i'll do language school, i'm thinking Antigua, interesting town and lots close by to go and do daily rides, my timeframe at school will be determined by my leaving date and how quick/ slow i go thru mexico, so i figure on 2-4 weeks in school

Ludwig said he will email contact details for the other riders closer to the time.

having went thru the borders last years in CA they are a pain in the a$$, much better with two guys as they send you to different building and far away from your bike...just for security mainly

let me know if you need garmin maps for cent. and s. america i have them all, some of them are routable to a certain extent, good to have if you use GPS

Headed into Mexico mid October
Riding from Ontario to cross into Mex through Los Ebanos (gotta ride the ferry !) around the 14th of October. Headed to Nayarit as a base for two months of exploring . Should be headed north around Dec 1 to cross over to ride Baja. Look for a black 99 1100 GS.

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.
