Talking OLA! Mexico for 6 months

Hi All,
I'm arriving in mexico city on the 12th April for a 6 month trip around mexico, with a predominance of south and central/coast. I've got a local wedding in cuidad del carmen in June and (hopefully!!!) that this local contact is sorting a bike for me when i get to him first.

So, any HUBBers there from mayish to late September give me a shout and you never know we may meet for a tequila or two.

I'll be the lunatic Englishman riding a smallish trail bike over some ill thought out terrain with a big smile on my face.

It will be great to meet up with you. Our plans are more fluid than yours as we have to pass around the Darien Gap and we don't know how to yet.

If we are in Mexico before July then we will look you up in this HUBB

Hi. I live in Cuernavaca, south of Mexico City.
Let me know when you're here and we can meet up.
I know two local motorcycle rental agencies in Mexico City and Cuernavaca, so that might be helpful too.
Good luck!

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.
