Hi. I see you are down the road from me. My wife and I have rode to Colombia. We intend to finish the rest, however, in June 2011, we are heading for Europe. We have done it in stages. If you want to talk, PM me.

It's great to see others are planning their trip in the same time frame as I am. It makes makes my plans suddenly seem a lot nearer. April 2013 is the planned date for the start of our travels.

Definitely interested in talking, especially as my departure gets a little closer. Colombia is definitely on my list I had family living there for quite some time. I am also curious how the rest of your trip goes. Good luck.

Hi!
Great to see riders with the same wild ideas!
I'm from Holland, and I'm planning on flying to Anchorage and then ride to Ushaia. From there on, I think I'll ride to Buenos Aires and fly back to Holland.
Would be great to find some fellow riders to undertake this trip together!
Grtz

Friends,
Ride the South Americas would be my alternative route/plan if my ride Malaysia to the UK visit Makkah Saudi Arabia enroute next year fall apart due to the current Middle East security trends. I just wonder if it is wise to bring my own bike to S. America or rent/buy there sell after the trip? Have no problem with time ( I'm a retiree).
Any advise is most appreciated.

Planning Ahead
Earl,
I have been planning since last year for my 5th SA epic trip in 2014, to combine it with the World Cup games in Brazil. 4 years planning is about what it takes to plan it well, especially as my son, my daughter, and 5 other friends will be joining me!
If you ride down the !@#$%^&* PANAMERICANA along the west coast of SA, you will miss all the good stuff! Leave the PN in Ecuador and see some of the country (and avoid the corrupt police north of Lima!). No need to ever return to the west coast! You can even check out Chile by a jump over the Paso Sico, then back over to Argentina south of Santiago.

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.
