Moving to Colombia by way of Motorcycle fall 2009

Hey everyone,
If everything goes according to plan I'll be heading down to SA by way of Mexico and Central America mid-october 2009. Itd be great to have some company on any part of the trip so let me know if youre interested. I just bought a 2005 KLR and she is pretty damn sweet, Can't wait to test her out. I've travelled many different places in the world and done MANY km's in south east asia on various bikes. Come along for the ride. Any info about the various countries in between would be much appreciated as well.

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.
