Hey guys, I'm in La Paz Bolivia and heading north on a flexible route, mountains would be nice, hence it would be nice to ride with someone. I have a month and a half to get to Bogota

Cheers

Hey Chris, you're still out there? I visited Gino back in June and he said you'd be stopping in to see him soon. Please say hello for me and remind him he's expected at my place before too long. And be aware that Gert is headed south, last seen in southern Canada (by me, at least) enroute to Bolivia.

Hope you're keeping it safe and having a blast out there!

Yo Cosmotos!!!
Just spent a few days with Ingo and Cecilia in Germany after our 5 week jaunt round Europe. Both are well as is the forthcoming baby, whilst we were there we had a chat with Gert in California, he's heading south as we speak...heading for?
Chris, you've got too much money and too much time on your hands...Enjoy!
Mark, we miss your pragmatism, Sue was taken by your laconic repartee and I have no doubt she would have run off with you had she not been partnered by someone infinately more handsome!..............Oh and your American!
Richard, F$%k me! we miss your £uc%ing brevity.....Ride Safe All

As for women who are partnered with infinitely more appealing men......it's the sad, sad story of my life!

Best to you both, and best wishes for continued progress on the funniest, most literate and best illustrated blog on the web!

Where's summer?
Wow, it great to hear from all you cosmotos, I know I'm going the wrong way at the wrong time of year, but want a healthy break to go back to work and earn some more money in this great financial time we're in, before starting the Cape Town to Noordkaap trip in May next year. I take my hat off to you guys that can do it for so long, NON STOP, Mark, G&S2Up.
Richard, I'll look for that thread and try help the guy out, I'm not using it anymore, Hell maybe I should put in it, thats what you would do!!
Anyone know how I can get hold of Gert? I would'nt mind having a crossing paths, with him.

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.
