Hey Wayne

My mates and I will be messing around the US/MExican border for a few weeks (12th May onwards) until they have to go back to their lives and responsibilities etc etc - so I will be in Baja - or there abouts by the end of May and looking to head further South on my own - so It could work out that we could hook up somewhere along the way etc.

My email is alex.mellor@yahoo.co.uk - let me know what you get up to etc.

All the best

Al

Hey Kev,

Sounds good - keep in touch, although I warn you I am on an XR650 - and I'm shit - so will not be 'fast' etc.. so no doubt we should be able to cross paths at some point.

Fast doesnt bother me, my time is my own, just kinda taking it as it comes. So keep you eyes open for some Irish plates.. probably to be spotted in close proximity to a suitable drinking establishment!!

Hey Danno,

I am arriving in LA on the 12th and then heading towards Las Vegas before going South into Baja and beyond etc.

Would be very cool to meet up at some point. Send me an email and let me know your movements and I'm sure we can cross paths etc.

Alaska then south

Hi Alex and everyone else,

I arrive in Anchorage from the UK in 2 weeks, and am riding a KLR solo, plan to finally get down to Argentena basically sticking to the west coast. Any of you guys who may be in those areas (USA/Canada: June,July Aug.) (Mex and beyond Sept onwards) then keep in touch as a bit of company now and then would be good.

cheers

Simon

If your are coming from Oregon, you are welcome to crash at my place. I live in Modesto, California (in the Central valley at the foothills of the Sierra and Yosemite).

Honestly - we have plenty of room in our home.

Here is a suggested route - From the Oregon coast take 101 South through the Redwoods, south of Eureka, California take Highway 36. It is 4-5 hours of pure heaven, quite possibly the best motorcycle highway anywhere. absolutely incredible.

Feel free to respone to my personal email: tprata56@sbcglobal.net

Cool breeze,

tom

Baja el proximo?

Long in the planning, finally starting out on the real deal heading south. First step is always when you break everything in. Will be happy to share the road with someone heading south soon. See next thread, it'll be the last I start for some time.

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.
