Girls on Bikes around Bolivia/Southamerica these days?
Hi,
I am an austrian chica in my thirtees and travelling the world since january. Until now I did the overland traveling by public transport. But quite spontanously I decided to change my travelstile and bought a Motorbike here in Bolivia  So right now I am in Chocabamba waiting for the Plate...
My route will be going east now to Ignacio de la chicitania and then heading back via Trinidad to la Paz. If I enjoy riding I will move on to Peru, Equador and Kolombia. If not I am going to sell it in La Paz (but I guess thats very unlikely
So if there are any cool girls out there who wanna meet up somewhere to grab a coffe or  send me a message...

Hi Silvia
It's great to hear that you're now travelling on a bike, you're going to have a great time.
sorry but I won't be in South America at all this year, I'm off to Madagascar again and other places.
Hopefully do you find people to meet up with.
good luck and ride safe

Hey! I'm going to La Paz in about two weeks.
Also on a mission to buy a cheap Chinese made bike.
What kind did you get?
Was it alright?
How was riding solo?

Hi Flea,
I got a new Suzuki DR200 for my travels. I didn't dare to go for a chinese bike, cos I had no technical skills for Motorbikes. The solo traveling was cool. No problems at all.

Here's a great story of a non-motorcyclist gal turned die-hard rider. And she started it all on a blue Chinese 150cc Peruvian motorcycle!
Have fun!

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.
