PanAm - SFO south - 3month starting Oct.

Hi all,

I will start from San Francisco following the pan americana south in October 2012.
Would be nice to meet some of your guys on the road.

Don't know how far I will come in the 3 month I have - and wouldn't stress myself to much - but would like to ship to South-America with Stahlratte if it fits in the time schedule.

Cheers,
Uli

Hi,
I'm planning on leaving San Francisco in the beginning of November with the goal of SA. Would like to ride with someone through Mex, maybe Baja and ferry over from La Paz...
Cheers, Bill

Heading South

I'm in Los Angeles and trying to get away about the end of October. I've made this trip twice before in the last three years, speak Spanish, and ride a Suzuki DL650 WeeStrom.

Anybody else from this area or planning to pass through about that time?

Chris

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.
