New York to Ushuaia May 2003
Hey all,
Im travelling to the US next week, buying a KTM640spending about a month setting it up and heading off.
I dont really have any time frame or schedule. I've travelled enough to know that even the best plans can change with meeting people who have come from the direction you are heading (and the cute Swedish backpackers met along the way).
So the plan is to nat have a detailed plan.
I am thinking of heading south to Tennessee then picking up the Trans American Trail to Oregon then back down through ...wherever, Great Western Trail? anyway ......South.
So if there is anyone else out there who is as unorganised as myself , I am eager to hear from you.

Hey Nesty, I am planning on leaving North Carolina around may and heading in the general direction of the pacific. I was thinking that I would like if possible to get to Moab Utah for the KLR Rally on the 29th. May or may not make it, but my general plan is Alaska, BC, Yukon and NWT.
I have also toyed with the idea of heading south after I get my fix of the mighty north. In any event our plans both seem to be in a similar state of diserray. If you are interested I would really enjoy some company.

Cheers
Scott

Hi Nesty,
I'm riding from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego starting in Alaska in May. Heading south through Canada, down the west coast, east around the southern states and into mexico probably around August/September. Aiming for TDF for Xmas.
I'm riding a white XT225.
Let me know how you get on.
Lois

Hi,

I have similar plans although will not be leaving until around may/jun.
Was just interested if you have bought your bike yet and how you plan to do that.
I also plan to buy a bike in the US (or Canada). I actually also thought of that KTM model.

Let us know how it goes.

Danny

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.
