Ushuaia (or Buenos Aires because of winter) to Milwaukee USA
I intend to transport my bike (HD Road King)from Europe to Buenos Aires these days to ride up north and finally hook-up with the bunch taking part in the Homerun (100th anniversary of HD) from, for example Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Milwaukee.
Anyone doing or planning the same and possibly interested in riding together part of the, or the entire trip?

I should be going through Equador about that time. BUt it seems you may be going a bit faster than I want to go thru Central Am. We can discus plans when it gets closer. Keep in touch- we should at least try to get together for a cervesa!

I am in Huaraz, Peru and will be headed north soon. I want to get home soon so I think your schedule through Central America would be good. Do you still want to get together?
How many km are you riding per day? I can go 1000km but I dont want to do more than 600km per day. I also think Columbia is a bad idea since even our Ecquadorian friend the great Ricardo Rocco, got kidnapped there. They let him go, but still....

I tried sending you an email, but not sure you got it. my email is now correct in this system.
We are in Vilcabamba, in southern Equador (july 4). We are headed north tomorrow and will probably be in Quito around monday or tuesday. I would like to ride north with you if possible. If you want to ride Columbia, maybe we could meet in Panama.
Please send me an email, because I need to know soon.
Thanks

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.
