Hey Mike,
I am riding an R 1200GSA and I'll be going on a Eurotrip with my buddies to Nordkapp this summer.
Hopefully all goes smooth and by the end of September I'll be shipping my bike to Mexico City or LA, and from there to TDF.
Z    Drive safe and happy
P.S.: Warming up to hit the trails up there?? Can't wait

Hey Mike -
I'm planning on striking out from San Francisco in March. My understanding is that it will be raining in Central America for May through Sept. I live in NY and will be shipping my bike out - riding through CA as a shake-down leg.
I'm planning on spending 6 months touring through Central and South America, and may keep going after that. I'll be riding a new Vstrom. I have no connections but some experience - I travelled through Central America in the 90s with a friend in 93, and an 82 Yamaha Seca. Also planning on spending 2-4 weeks in a Spanish immersion program along the way, maybe Guatemala or Quito.
I'd love some company.

Update

After reading some posts and doing a little re-plannning, I've decided to reschedule my trip to start south in Oct/Nov 2008 to hit TDF in Jan/Feb. I'd like to hear from anyone with similar plans.

Hey Andy
I am going to fly my bike to LA or Mexico probably the end of September and then ride my way to TDF.
Until what stage of planning you are??
Drive Safe and Happy

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.
