Anyone heading to Central America January/February?

Hello All,

I have decided to take 6 months leave and head to Central America from Florida in late January or early February and would like to meet some other riders along the way. Hope to hear from some of you.

Be safe & enjoy the ride!

I will be leaving from the Gainesville area in mid to late January. I hope to meet some other long riders along the way. I have 6 months so I am in no hurry. Just a nice slow ride to enjoy the people and the countryside.

I plan on leaving the Orlando area for CA on or about February 2. No route plan or agenda, will probably go as far as Panama. Ride a KTM 990 and interested in hooking up.

Hey Spartan,
Two of us are going to leave SF area around mid Jan and headed to Belize, Guatemala, Cancun and loop back around Mexico, probably a 6wk round trip.
We don't have an actual dates or path just yet.

Would be great to hook up.
I'm on a KLR, buddy on a Versus.
Bob

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.
