what is roro
yo elwood! what up mate? you still making fast time through chile? i'm sure you are... i can see you there, riding your black and blue newbie klr, chillen like a vill'n, making more miles alone than you ever could have teaming up.

okay, seriously though, you are moving so freaking fast, it was simply rad hanging out in the vip seats, and worth every centavo. so, 15000 bucks for a container is crazy, but 6 bikes in a containter for less than that would be nice. what is motobikergirl talking about RORO and herself for so cheap? what is the crack there man?

RORO is what scooby says when hes in trouble, or its a roll on roll off boat. I am making Miles now 450 3 days ago 541 yesterday 441 today! Ive got Wings! I think best option is to sell the bike in Uruguay. or Push it into the Atlantic (after i drain the oil) what rock are you up?

I don't know who that was with. I was talking to MArie and Brian, who I met in Colombia, and that's what they said it cost them fro BA to somewhere in Europe.

Their site is 2uprtw - Latest Journal Entries and you may be able to find it on there or contact them directly.

EDIT: I just found this. http://www.grimaldi-freightercruises...icaEnglish.pdf

I emailed Dakar Motors in Buenos Aries for a quote from BA to Vancouver via air and it was cheaper than expected and quite reasonable, I think. Word is they are THE people to talk to for shipment and arrange it frequently.

Yup. Sandra at Dakar Motors. She'll tell you how to do it for free or accompany you to the airport, shepherd you around, translate and do all the rest for a fee. Nice folks. Website can be found by Google.

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.
