Anyone in Southern Peru with an F650GS ?
.....who, in exchange for , would let me try the throttle assembly & ignition CDI from my bike on theirs ?
I'm still gremlin chasing on my bike & getting nowhere fast, despite checking lots of parts. I'm reluctant to fork out loads of cash on replacement parts I might not need & this is the only way I can think of to track the problem down.

True. The people that found their way there 100 years before us were able to rent the GPS units in an exchange program......

I might be up for that if I can get my bike fixed, drop me an email when you get to Arequipa.

I rode through salar the Uyuni without GPS and than all the way down to San Pedro in Chile via Laguna Colorado! No problem at all! You see the tracks from the cheeps and you allways see the mountains, there you can hold on!
If you are not sure, just wait till a cheep with tourist passes by and follow that one! It´s a fantastic trip, but if you ride down to San Pedro via the dessert (Laguna Colorado) you should know how to drive in sand or don´t go!

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.
