Minneapolis to TDF leaving Sept. 8th, 2008

I'll be crossing the Mexico border in Brownsville about Sept. 12th with my first stretch on the east coast over to Belize. From there I am heading down to TDF. Loose plan is to be in Ushuaia around mid December/ Christmas time.
Anyone going that way?

If you're planning on hitting Ushuaia in December you'll probably catch up to me. I'm leaving Panama in two weeks, heading south. Keep in touch.

I will be off for 2 months starting next Saturday and had considered getting my GS down to Quito or Buenos Aires and flying back _ have friends in both places. The bike is usually packed and ready although I have to change the Karoos for Tourances and change the trans and drive oils. How fast will you be traveling? LVRIDER

Pockethead,
I'd consider selling my bike when I finish in Ushuaia or Beaunos Aires/ Rio or whereever you're coming in from. My bike is a KTM 950, 2004 ecellent condition and I will be servicing it all along the way down. have done all the known upgrades ktm's have issues with and have some farkles....power outlet to tank bag, tour winshield, cruise control, crash bars, gobi hard bags, huge tail mount plate. If you have interest in that bike let me know u email and i will send pics. i would want at least $7k

Mike

Pockethead,
I might be interested in selling bike, but it would be in Argentina in Jan or Feb. All depends on how I feel when I get there.
Then again, I might decide I have to ride to Rio for Carnaval !

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.
