Jon,

Good to hear you're on your way south!

Try and get to the Copper Canyon Meeting - there'll be lots of folks there, possibly some heading south also, plus of course there will be a number of Mexicans there to connect with.

See you there!

I am also headed south. So far have linked up with Xavier from NYC- see his posting- NYC- ARGNTN -NYC: Late Oct (give/take).

I am flying to Ecuador Nov 2, will race the Ecuador National Rally Nov 8-15 then on to points further south. Plan to be in Ushuaia Jan 1, no other set dates.

The more the merrier, I always say.

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.
