South America - Aug 2011 until Apr 2012
My wife and me are planning to travel through South America.
We will start around August 2011 and will most likely be on the road for 8-10 months. We are two, but one bike only.
Rough planning is to start from Ecuador, slowly ride down to tierra fuego, and then spend some time in northern argentina and south brazil.
But we are pretty flexible.
Would be nice to find bikers with similar plans and meet somewhen, somewhere in South America. Michael.

HI Michael: My wife and I are heading to Europe in June 2011. The bike will be shipped into Heildleberg, Germany. Maybe we will come across you there. My wife and I, two up, did Mexico, Central America, and Colombia, SA, in 2009-2010. We still want to do the same area you intend to do. There is a possiblity, and at my age anything can happen, that we would ship the bike from Europe to South America. 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. 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.
