Count me in!

Hello! I'm planning on leaving OCT 28 or Nov 1. I will try to be in Guatemala by Nov 10, and hopefully in Panama by Nov 20. I'll be traveling alone on my BMW R1200GS and would like to meet some people to share the journey with.

Here's my email- jvrengineer@yahoo.com.

I would love to join or bump into you guys on the trip. Please keep me posted.

Have a safe Trip!
Javier

I am in Saudi Arabia at the moment. HAHAHA!!! I fly back in 2 days, then do the maintenance on my bike and am planning on heading out October 26. I'm hoping I could catch up with you guys in Mazatlan.??? I can ride real hard the first few days. Either way keep me posted, I would like to meet up for sure before crossing into Guatemala. Just keep me posted on your location throughout and i'll be sure and be there. I'll PM you my cell# just in case. Thanks!

We entered Guatemala from Talisman border crossing. There were swamp of "helpers" distracting you. As soon as you enter Guatemala, look for the immigration office window on your left. Do your immigration first, and fumigation, then custom.
For your bike importation, you need to make copies of your Drivers License, cancelled Mexican TVIP, title, and passport. Make sure you follow copy instruction for they request back of some documents.
Make sure you stop by Mexican custom on the way out of Mexico. It's a new facility about 30 miles to the border. Keep your eyes open for it, if you want to take care of your TVIP.

After initial hardship of the border crossing, Guatemala is awesome country to ride. Try their four lane highways connection mountain villages. It's the world class riding.

Good Luck.

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.
