New York-Buenos Aires, october 2010
It is time to start preparing my third American leg. I will leave New York on a R1200 GS by 22 october heading South America. I have 4 months to arrive to Buenos Aires.
Normally I ride alone, but if someone is going on the same way and do not speak Spanish, I offer my self as a language teacher. You´d better know how to pay bribes and ask for mercy when being robbed.
A proper knowledge of Spanish language may be useful.
Salary demanded: two litres of good ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) every night.
Back to America

Hi, Apolo. I will go straight from NY to Mexico. If you are around the east coast by the end of october, we can ride down south for a while. Take care.

Hi Miquel-Silvestre,
I think I can afford two ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) s a night ... at least if one doesn't have pay before one crosses the Mexican border!
Anyway, I'm planning to ride my GS from Vancouver to Buenos Aires (Oct'10 - Jan'11) and wouldn't mind too much not to ride the whole tour on my own. So maybe we could meet at some point...
cheers
Marcus
PS: I'm German, but I guess this language is not too useful in the Americas ;-)

Hi Hawkeye42.
Maybe in Chile there are some who speak German. I don't but I really love german ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) .
I love also to ride alone because nobody argue about who has to pay the ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) , but, anyway, could be nice to meet you on the way. We'll keep in touch.
Take care.

Ahoy Miquel!
Miquel! I See you have a new plan ahead of you! Depending on when you arrive at the Mexican border. I could be ready to rock and roll. I'll be riding my 2006 Suzuki DR650 by that time.
Keep us all posted. If you haven't ridden with Miquel, do yourself a favor, buy him those 2 liters of ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) , or a bottle of ![jeiger](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/jeiger.gif) , and you'll have an awesome time of it.

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.
