The Conti's aren't available here, but Pirelli MT21's are. And they are reasonable, around $80 a pair.
Personaly, I would run more of a street tire for the run thru the States and Mexico and buy some Knobbies here.
I see from your profile that you have been here before. But just a reminder, we are into the rainy season now, and it promises to be a wet one.

I can't P.M., not enough posts.
A better question than "How will the weather be in July" might be, "how will the roads be in July?". Too early to tell, ping me in a month.
Sure, I would enjoy having a  with you. I live in the North Western part of Costa Rica. My phone#'s are in another post here.

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.
