Headed to Mexico via AZ? Rider at Nogales seeking compadres
Direction-challenged Canuck has opted to forego Baja route (as mentioned in previous thread) and is now hanging just above Nogales, anticipating coastal touring and the Copper Canyon. Guatemala-bound. Flexible regarding routes, but with my RT it can't involve anything too gnarly. If you're headed down this way give me a shout. Cheers.

Hola Dave! Am currently nursing a wee cold in legendary Creel, content to hang a bit. Great town with travelers from all over Mex and the world. I reckon you have some 2000-plus kms to cover. What's your plan? X'ing at Presidio? My plan was to head to Parral and Durango and ride 'The Devil's Backbone into Mazatlan. Let me know if that appeals to you. And if you have a tel # please include it as I've been using the Magic Jack app successfully.
Cheers.

GPS Vs Tequila ;-0
G'day Seth,
Thanks for the PM. Plans - minimal, direction - south :-) I'm heading up to collect the bike today, might take a day or 2 to get it sorted. I have to stop in Phoenix on the way south to sort out some paperwork ect. So it'll be the best part of a week before I get truly mobile. It'll give you a bit of time to get your liver in order for the onslaught ;-)
Cheers Dave

Righty-0 Dave. Hard to say where I might be by the time you boogie down this way but let's keep one another apprised. If you are Phoenix-bound then I can recommend the Nogales X'ing for sure. Watch out for those goddam 'topes' speed bumps. The bigger bastards can kill ya if you don't absolutely crawl over them. Buena suerte. sethout

From New Jersey to Buenos Aires
Hi:
I will be leaving New Jersey the day after Thanksgiving. I just retired and moving to Argentina.
I am riding a 2012 Vstrom 650. I am planning on arriving in Buenos Aires at the beginning of February. I would like to spend more time on the road, but I have an import permit for the bike that expires before the end of February.
I will be crossing to Mexico at Nogales, and then taking the toll roads south
when available.
Juan Carlos

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.
