North - Central - South America: Start June 02
Hi
After having done the Europe - Asia - OZ thing I'd like to do the americas. Starting somewhere at the eastcoast, heading west and then south into mex .. try to avoid the Darian gap and Columbia by shipping from Panama to Ecuador. This is the only fixed at the moment. My way is to do the thing cheap and slowly .. time is money and saving money gives you time :-)
I like to travel in company ..
about my last trip you can read on http://www.motorbike-web.de/hosting/...ur/default.htm
Not jet finished, only german, no pics ... well ... I'll have to do that soon.
so long
sam
The truth is somewhere out there .. on the road ..

**** UPDATE ****
Me and my sister we will arrive in Montreal on the 22nd of May. The same day the bikes should arrive by ship. Our plan is to cross north america east to west in two months. My sister will go back home from LA. Me, I'll be heading south later.
I am still looking for part time companions on my trip through the americas.
Question:
Anybody out there from Montreal to give me hints on
- Montreal habour procedures (uncrating the bike there - possible or not)
- Customs
- CHEAP accomodation (ehhhm .. did I spell that correctly???)
Thanks to all
sam

Hi Sam, I'm currently in Mazatalan, Mexico after a grueling hot week crossing the Sonorense Desert. I've got to be in Cancun on July 27, where me and some friends are going to fly to Cuba for a few weeks. By the sounds of it you should be well into Mexico by then and perhaps we would be in the same neck of the woods. When I return from Cuba I'll moving with the bike into Guatamala and the rest of Central and S.America. Email me if you might be interested.

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.
