This is Tom on the Triumph Bonnie.

Pete.

If your the same Pete I met in Quito in El Cafecito, was´up?
So you quit working in Bogota and decided to head back to the UK.

I also stayed in Hostel Sue in Bogota. You´ll have to say hello to Oscar and Alice from myself and Diego. And if there is a tall Belgium guy called Burry still working there give him a high5..........we got him the job.

Diego got stuck with an shaman in Villacabamba, Ecuador and an Austrian girl jumped on the back of my bike so right now I´m down in Peru - Mancora.
My spanish teacher in Ecuador got the sack for taking me out dancing all the time and I got my brake pads refurbished in Loja.
So my wheels are still turning and Diegos playing catch up.

Hola a tu chica y buena suerte con la organisacion de tu moto.
Rock and ride.

Hey hey Tom, sounds like you're having a fun time, don't get stuck in Mancora for too long...!

Yeah, decided the job wasn't worth it so on my way back to sunny England on Tuesday. Found a bloke who exports VW Combi's from here back to Europe and he's gonna put my bike in his next container for not very much dosh at all, sweet.

You have a wicked ride south mate... and stay away from those Spanish teachers!

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.
