We are slow. Now in Mexico, heading South to Ushuaia
Hello
We are currently in Baja / Ensenada and we are wondering if anyone else is around these parts/ or heading to mainland Mexico in a couple of weeks - then afterwards Guatemala?
We have been on the road for three months and we are doing Alaska to Argentina. We never have an itinerary and just go with the flow sort of thing. The only thing we have in the diary is Colombia for Christmas as we are meeting my brother in law.
We were thinking it would be nice to bump into other bikers to share the journey, offer recommendations, plus there is the safety in numbers things.
Both english, on a GS adventure with full camping gear.
Doing it on a bit of a budget because we want the trip to last.
Get in touch if you are around.

If you don't have a time limit and funds are okay then get slower. You will only regret it.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
