Bar's Name
El Esco Bar I dare you!! Only joking! It's a hard one, best to be significant in Spanish and English. Can we have a rough idea of the site, ambience or whatever? Linzi.

Norton Rats
I always liked the Norton Rats name.You know the place in Cusco,but I don,t want to rip him off.
I,m thinking it has to be a little bit pub,a little bit bike and a little bit Colombia
eg "The Old Velocetts Arse Carajo!!!"
Lets try things along those lines

There was a fledgling rock group back in the late sixties who were looking for a name , somebody [ and it might have been Clapton] told them that they sounded like shit and would go down like a lead zeppelin .The name stuck- despite the spelling mistake .

Whatever happened to them ?

I think they reformed for a few gigs a couple of years ago. One or two of the band take a big interest in "Le Festival au Sahara", which happens near Timbouktou each Jan/ Feb.

This would be a great bike destination.

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.
