Forced lay up in Cajamarca Peru

Greetings travellers.

Are there any riders in the Cajamarca area over the next week or so? We will be here enjoying a forced lay up due to a failed ignition coil. Parts are on the way but it all takes time. It would be good to catch up with others for a chat and a drink.

Ah the people you find on here eh?
Sorry to hear about the breakdown but you get that from time to time. Kick back, have a few drinks and the parts will be there before you know it. Enjoy!

On the Move again

Greatings Seanh. Thankyou for the reply. We are mobile again after one week in Cajamarca. Not an unpleasant place to have a lay up. Turned out to be a carburetor issue (my fault) but all is sorted now. Full story is on the Hubb in BMW Tech ... R80G/S Ignition Coil.

We should be in Cusco in about ten days then will move to Bolivia via Lake Titicaca. Hope the Salar de Uyuni is dry in November. Eventually we will return to B A early December then onto Viedma for the HU Party on the 11 to 13th. Our rough plan so if you any where near by it would be good to catch up for a or coffee. Also any bike problems let us know....we have a few contacts.

Bolivia in October

Glad to hear you are back on the road. You mentioned the Salar in November. My plan is to drop my daughter of at the LaPaz airport on the 7th of November and make my run down through Potosi, Uyuni, and the lakes further south. I would very much like to ride through there with someone. I am solo on a KLR.

Let me know if you might be interested if your time frame is close to mine.
Hope to hear from you.

The Salar de Uyuni in November

We are in Huaraz and head off tomorrow towards Cusco. Will spend some time there doing Machu Picchu and then onto Puno and the Copacabana. Your timing would probably be close to our schedule so keep in touch. It would be good to share the Salar with some one.

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.
