Mexico/Guatemala in late June
I will be in Los Mochis tomorrow and will likely spend the week (or more) waiting for a new shock to arrive (destroyed in Copper Canyon yesterday).
When the bike is fixed, I'll be heading down the coast and crossing into Guatemala at the end of July if anyone wants to hook up.
If anyone has a recommendation as to where I can stay for a week or how to have a shock mailed (general delivery or other) let me know. I've never had to do anything like this before. Thanks.

Hey sorry it took so long to get back with you, I just quit my job, moved to Northern Utah, just got here last night and moved my stuff in to storage this morning. Now I have one month to get ready to leave.
In early June I'll ride up to the Canada border and spend the month on the CDT.
Where and when would you like meet?
Spanish help would be great! I'm freaking terrible!

buddy you sund like your on similar wave lengths to me!
I'm currently on the east coast heading west to california mid june roughly the 8/9th to spend a few weeks with friends then i'll be heading south maybe fancy a bit of baja to spice it up before ferry to mainland then get some mexico experience too.
So i'll be leaving l.a near the end of june too and am on my own, also on a dr650 and can do a bit of spanish but thats part of the fun. I do off and on road not fussy like both.
i'm aiming for panama then maybe fly south but a riding partner for some/all of it would be great!! How old are you? i'm 22 but being english can be mature or occasionally too light hearted, its a good mix for travel
Shout me on here but sounds like you fancy someone to ride with, i camp or cheap accomdation and  etc.. I've just got a cell so leave me a message and your number or something or i'll post mine up when i check tomorrow befor getting back on the road.
look forward to hearing from you

Hey man,
I had not really considered doing baja but maybe I should, never been there after all.
Yep, I'm traveling pretty cheap too, will be camping till I get to Mex, then I'll be looking for cheap rooms.
I can't message anyone yet because I have not posted enough, as soon as I am able, I'll send you my cell.
You should be able to find out more than you really want to know about me by going to my site at ricky.static.com. You can also follow me in agonizing detail at Ricky Brooks (RickyBrooks) on Twitter
Look forward to hearing from you.
Ricky

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.
