Hey,

I'm in Antigua for 2 weeks and would love to have a riding partner through some of these "challenging" countries, but I'm afraid that you're probably too far ahead of me by now.

All the best,
Daren

PS. Anyone else out there riding south?

Hey Daren,

Yeah man, sorry, I am in Panama City/Colon looking for a boat ride to Columbia! Who knows I might still be here when you roll in! Ride safe, keep me posted.

Wow, you're moving along pretty well then. Not me, I'm enjoying this and taking my time. You'll probably be long gone by the time I get to Panama. I would appreciate hear how you ship the bike over though - I'm not set on how to do it yet either, so your info will be welcomed.

Liked your website, and the cause. Good on ya man!
Take care,
Daren

Central America Rainy season

Hey all
I am just about to finish riding through Mexico and the states, was planning to ride through Central America to Costa Rica, but I have been delayed and am not sure how much an effect the rainy season will have on the roads etc through Belize, Guatemala, Honduras etc....I am near Cancun now and plan on leaving Mexico in about 10 days and hitting Belize, an hours or so a day I can live with, but all dayers ...that's another stort!
Any help much appreciated
Dan
PS I am on a big fat Harley, not ideal, I know!
Thanks for your help guys, keep on riding

No prob

Mate, you'll be fine, don't worry.

I'm on the way up to Mexico from Belize and I've just ridden through most of those contries within last weeks, got just one or two rain-showers that were ultra-quick and you thank God you got them - a real watercooling in that killer-hot climate . Roads are pot-holey but not much dirt roads if you stick on the main transit roads - so deffo doable even on a Harley - absolutely no prob in fact!

Wave when you see an old silver R1100GS passing by 2-up!

Cheers, Margus

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.
