It would be great to meet up with anyone else on the road on the way south as some company would be nice.

Ciao,

Hi Annette

I just had a quick look at your web site. Congrats on such an honorable effort. I look forward to crossing paths with you.

To CRC touring:

I'm leaving june 1st for a trip from alaska to TDF. Costa Rica is definitely on my agenda. I have plans to meet up with a few friends, rent a bike for them and drive around for a week or so.

Couldn't find your website, do you have bikes for rent?

cheers,
Sander

Hi Oisin,

Your timing looks similar to my plans, I should be starting in Alaska in August and aiming to get to TDF by late December.

Cheers,

Fraser.

I'm starting in July (2nd week or so) from Houston, Texas and will be spending xmas at tierra del fuego. I'm solo so far.

I'm on an F650GS. I can be stalked, erm followed by my blog that is in my sig.

It'd be great to meet up. Based on what your time frame could be, it may work out if we were to meet up in Guatemala. I'm going to speed through Meixco (because I live in TX, MX is easy to get to) and do some diving in the yucatan.. but will spend a few weeks in Xela, Guatemala to study spanish.

It'd be great to ride with someone else!

Daveg

.. will PM and email also

Hey Dave,

Are you planning to dive off the coast or in the Cenotes? Depending on your cert I can recommend the Cenotes.

Robert,

I was actually planning on being home for Christmas, but maybe we'll meet in TDF.

Cheers,

Fraser.

I am planning on leaving Victoria B.C at the end of September (earlier if possible) heading east to take the Great divide trail down to Mexico. Going to head west and take Baja down, cross over and head toward Belize. I would like to be in Argentina for Dakar. Otherwise the plan is quite loose. Keep me posted on those shipping costs please. Planning to ride through Africa after.

Leaving Seattle for Ushaia first week October. Plan on getting back by March. If you are ahead then we will see you on Christmas Day. If not, feel free to join our little band as far as you like.

If your route brings you Seattle way, email me via unchainedworld.com and I'll be happy to help some how.

Cheers,

Lamble

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.
