Contact Toby at adventure motorcycle tours in Peru and all South America - Home Straight up guy, with buy/sell back option. His business is located in Huancayo, a one hour flight from Lima. Title takes a week to get transferred, so you have to ride in Peru for that amount of time before crossing borders.

If it was the 80s I would recommend reading Matthew Paris' Inca Kola - a great account of travelling through Peru on two legs and two wheels. Still a good read a couple of decades on

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.
