Hey guys, I´m riding South America right now and just made 3 new posts on my website.

Hey guys, I just made 3 new posts on my website. They are about my stay for new years in Bogota, the drive through Southern Colombia and the drive into Ecuador. The roads in Southern Colombia are incredibly fast. I think that they are probably the best roads in South America, but I still have a lot of exploring to do.


Check them out at:

Thank You,
Geoff

Thanks for hyperlinking it for me Matt. I met a local KTM rider here and we are probably going to check out some trails here in Cuenca, Ecuador next week.

Here is a picture of me hanging out in Bogota with my Colombian friend Juan. (Juan´s on the left)

Hey RAAAY, good to hear from you. Are you still in Medellin? That is really cool that you are traveling with your dog. Medellin was such a great city, I kind of wish I took Spanish lessons there, but my Spanish teacher here is very good looking. (pics to come hopefully)

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.
