From Mexico to Colombia

Hi there.
Looking for open minded, young (in soul and mind) companion.
I'm 25 and riding a KLR650 with not a lot of experience so if you ride with me you sign up for adventure.
I don't like to plan too much so I'm very flexible. Generally I'm looking for nature, beaches, latin rhythm and some scuba diving?!
Not planing to go for extreme off roads though I'm easy to convince.
I will be happy even to do parts of the journey togther, better the beginning.

Dates:
Starting to go down from San Diego's border on mid September (2015)
Selling my motorcycle in Colombia on the end of 2015

Let's talk more privately.
Cheers,
Niv

Selling bike in Colombia

You might want to check on this, but from what I know, if you take a bike into Colombia as a tourist, you have to take it back out when you leave. To import a bike and register it there involves lots of paperwork and a considerable amount of expense. You couldn't legally sell it there without importing it.

Hi Niv

I started my trip already 1st of July, travelled form Anchorage down to Baja California. But now I'm stuck because of problems with VIN registration. I will have probably to go back to the USA. And who knows, maybe I will hang around the states for a while (still hope that I can travel down south). So maybe could travel together in case it works out with my VIN. Timetable is about the same. Being back home at the end of the year.
Get in contact in case that sounds interesting for you ;-)

cheers,
Judith

Lets ride :D

Hey man! I just turned 28 and I'm headed down to Chile!!! I left Oklahoma City 2 months ago and made it to the middle of Mexico before some family business took me away from my ride. Im flying back to Chihuahua City later this week to pick up my Vstrom 650 I left with some friends down there. I'm super flexible with my schedule and I'm looking to hit some beaches as well as scuba.

My name is Nate and you can email me at gnarlynathan@hotmail.com or text/call me @ 405-410-2359. Let me know whats going on your way man and lets ride

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.
