Any meets in Argentina/Sth America late 2011?
Hi I will be travelling south from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia (nov/dec '11) then north up Sth America to Colombia early next year.
Looking for HU meets/travelling buddies/events/anything.
Also looking at purchasing bike in Argentina (preferably BuesAires) sometime in the next 2 months (se/oct '11).
Anyone with similar plans, would love to hear from you.

Bikes purchased by foreigners in Argentina cannot legally be taken out of the country. If you do a search on this topic there's a mine of information about where to legally buy a bike on this continent.
HU Viedma meeting is 9/10/11 December.
Regards, Mick

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.
