Talking US to Ushuaia

Hi all,

I'm Bento (34) from The Netherlands. In 2018/2019 I rode from NL to Australia through Central Asia. Now in 2022/2023 my plan is to ride from the US to Argentina on my R1200 GS.

I am currently in Houston where I have picked up my bike last Friday and my plan is to set off tomorrow for some riding around the US before going into Mexico.

Not much of a camper but I do carry a tent and sleeping/cooking gear :-)

On my last trip I met a great bunch of guys with who I traveled quite a bit and it made my trip a million times more fun than going at it solo.

So if anyone is interested in riding together, either for a short bit or a longer stint then do hit me up here or on Instagram @idiotonwheels

Cheers,

Bento

All the best to you! I'm planning to do that route starting in Florida, but not until mid 2023.

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.
