Reading a fellow Guatemalan ADV rider's RR, I came to realize that we should start organizing ourselves to know each other and to help fellow riders while in our country. I myself feel privileged to be part of this group, although my traveling experience is limited to Mex and CA. I have been trying to do my best to make riders from the world over feel at home while in Guatemala, which has given me the opportunity to meet some of the most wonderful people while in their high of living their dreams! Maybe as an organized group we can improve on the experience that people leave Guatemala with, whilst making friends in the process... So far, it's me, Richsuz, Guaterider and CHAPIN. Anyone else? Maybe, as suggested by Julio (Guaterider) we could organize a meet/ride maybe sometime in January?
If you do it in January, count me in !!!! We should also get some good friends like marior97 from El Salvador to join us!
Gentlemen, Although I don't know any of you, I wish you the best in this endeavor. Please drop a line to elsalvadorklr (Christian). He is a fine man, and would make a great addition to the group. PD
Local ADV Folks, Many thanks for starting this post. My riding partner and I leave for Panama from California in early February. Nice feeling to have local ADV folks to search knowledge from. ADV Fool.
We're heading your way :) cross Nicaragua into Honduras in a couple of day time so you guys aren't far away. Cheers Pete & Caf
Interesting timing on this topic! In a few days I am leaving Panama for a short trip north, I want to make a good tour of Nicaragua, but hope to have enough time to see some of Guatemala and El Salvador. I will be following this to gleen any insights as to things I shouldn't miss!
Thanks for going to the dealer and getting back to me so quickly. We ordered the parts from Nevada BMW and they will ship them overnight Thurs to Miami, I hope the courier is able to get them to me by Saturday. Great help....
Hola Richard, tried to help but bmw dealer here has only really basic maintenance spare parts. Hope you get the parts fast ! Saludos
Thanks for starting this thread. Beginning Jan 2013 I will be travelling through Mexico and on to Central America (first Belize then Guatemala, etc) Let me know for sure if you guys have a get together in January/February. I will also subscribe to this thread for email updates. Regards, rjzinc (Richard)
January would work perfectly for me, I will be in Guatemala the whole month . Would be a pleasure to be able to ride with all you guys
Hey you all...ADVrider Guatemala, but really ONE PEOPLE ONE WORLD! The more the better...Soon as I get together with Guaterider we'll let you know on a PLAN...I know he likes PLANS...NOT...well get something going for sure. And for all of those coming down to and through, welcome to GUATEMALA. I will be running around with a few travelers heading south during the next month.
