!sold!
Alright every body!
The bike has been !SOLD! and the new owner Stephen Cook rode it back in to Argentina and obtained legal temporary import papers. Sunday is filled with tying up loose ends, transferring money, and deciding what of anything I have that he would like to have, and what I will be taking home with me.
Monday at 6pm I fly home.
I am no no longer the owner of my old 2007 DR650.
And guess what! I don't care because I made a deal with AdvBilly (fellow inmate) to buy his!

Can you say TUBLISS?
Oh, right!
AdvBilly lives in Mobile, Alabama and I am going to a Fly and Ride in Mid January!
And I'll be towing one of these!

I'll be taking names for all of you inmates that might want to put me up for the night on my way back north!
ONWARD!!!!!!

Hey, so you met Gert (Bolivian/Dutch riding an American 1200GS). Guy turns up everywhere. I rode with Gert in Peru and Bolivia a couple of years ago, then again in British Colombia.
Please offer my hellos (y besos y abrazos) to Sandra and Javier, in that order.
The Everett convergence zone awaits!

Great report Alex, great pic's. Your enthusiasm and optimistic attitude no doubt inspired a lot of people. Cant wait to see how that "cooler on wheels" goes behind that awesome looking new bike. All the best on your return home.
Cheers,
James

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.
