Panama City PANAMA ship or ride
I will be in Panama City approx Feb 15th after a month trip south from Arizona with two other amigos. They are continuing to S.A. But I have to fly back to USA for 2 weeks. When I return I want to ship or ride with someone back to Arizona or Texas…I promised my wife I wouldn’t solo south of Mexico and I’ve run out of forgiveness

My advice is to just take a cheap KLR650 with your friends, or maybe a cheap (2001-2005) bmw f650gs and advertise here on the HUBB in the for sale section for $1000 or $500 in Panama.
Just fire sale it in Panama.
After you have crossed those Central American borders once by motorcycle, you will have no desire to do it again in your life.

If you are heading north from Panama by yourself then are you breaching the promise that you gave (or is that why you are out of forgiveness)?
So you have some choices:
1 Take her as your pillion then you wouldn’t be solo.
2 Ask your friends to wait for a couple of weeks in the Panama area and you’ll rejoin them and continue south
3 Join up with other people going south
4 Tell her you have done numbers 2 or 3

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.
