Rtw 2013-2014
I am riding from Seattle, Texas (El Paso), Mexico, Central America, South America, S. Africa, East Africa, Europe, Russia, and ending in S. Korea.
I am planning to start in February 2013, and finishing in October 2014. Lots of camping and excitement expected.
Anyone care to join in a part of the trip?

Thanks for the response.
You follow the same route, but not sure yet for all the Africa route...
Maybe you are more advanced than me (start soon) so do you have some tips and update informations about the shipment from South America to South Africa...
And do you have a blog or a website?

As to transporting my bike from South America to Africa, I plan to fly out from Buenos Aires to Capetown. There are posts in HU regarding that topic.

WOW! .. .. That’s some awesome itinerary Karl.
San Francisco:
9) ?????
May I suggest Alcatraz Island? It's one of the very best American historical sites I've ever visited. The self-guided audio tour is exceptionally good.
Don't hesitate to give us a shout when you get into Europe and down to Cornwall (UK). I work in Penzance, which is another destination on your list.
All the best
Keith

Yes, I was at a meeting [+ dinner] with six others attending, including Tiffany, at a mutual friend's home here in Cornwall back in early April this year.
Good to know that you'll be traveling all the way down into the southwest of England, as most touring Americans tend to get only as far as Stonehenge .. and then turnaround!
It'll be great to meet you.
Cheers for now

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.
