weather in USA in January
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on what the weather in the southern states and Mexico would be like in January? Looks like I'm going to have the month off and kind of fancy jumping on the bike for a mini trip for that time.

Thanks in advance as always

Nicest part of Mexico, IMO.

If you ride in "Southern" California, Arizona, New Mexico you should be fine but the "Northern" half of those states have winters, cold and snow. The north rim of the Grand Canyon is closed in the winter.
Much of that area is high altitude over 6,000' (1,800m).

Why not move there? It is actually something I've given some thought to over the last year since I worked there for a bit.

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.
