See you on the road
After a year and a half delay I am finally leaving the UK 30th August for Anchorage and plan to get into Mexico by October to ride down to TDF. Flight is booked and just trying to sort out buying a bike in Anchorage.
It would be great to meet up with anyone else on the road on the way south as some company would be nice.
Ciao,
Annette

We are in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The plan is for us (a couple riding 2-up on a BMW R12GSA) to leave here September 13. We will be stopping in Montreal for a day or two to visit family and do the same in Toronto. We will then turn south towards Mexico and Latin America.
Our agenda is relax. We have areas we wish to visit but our timeline is open. This allows us the flexibility to extend our visit to places we enjoy. Our only goal (ok, it's mine, not hers) is to be in Ushuaia for Christmas. It would be cool if we could all meet there.
Oisin why are you shipping your bike to Toronto? Especially if you will be going to Nova Scotia. You'd be doubling back if you intend to go to Alaska after Nova Scotia. The distances between cities in Canada can be vast. Toronto - Halifax is 1860 km.
If you are shipping your moto by boat, Halifax, NS is a major shipping port.
Also, if you ride by Fredericton, you are welcome to drop in. We are about 350km from Halifax on the route to Toronto.

Hello Robert; I am located in Woodstock Ont., about 120km west of TO. If you had time,maybe we could meet for a quick coffee on your way through. I am planning this trip for about 3 yrs from now. No biggy if it doesn't work for you. Ride safe.

To CRC touring:
I'm leaving june 1st for a trip from alaska to TDF. Costa Rica is definitely on my agenda. I have plans to meet up with a few friends, rent a bike for them and drive around for a week or so.
Couldn't find your website, do you have bikes for rent?

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.
