Hi Growler. I hope that SA is going well. Are you still thinking of the TCAT? My last bike is on the side of a road in Peru after being attacked by a jaywalking cow

Sorry bout that cow. Sure tasted good though!
I hope I can meet up with some of you for a bit of the Trans Canada.
I'm still in Brasil heading south on the Atlantic coast then up Chile through Patagonia. Most of this trip is over with only around 28,000 km to my home in California over the next 3 months. Plan to ride up to Deadhorse around July so gotta do more Canada.

Not sure why some say east to west or west to east. :confused1: Don't most need to return home somehow? For the return do folks ride onto ViaRail RoRo style?

OK you have got me feeling a tad envious and I really need to get back on the road. I found South America stunning and one day I must get back there.

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.
