For what it is worth, we moved from Sucre to Potosí today. Reportedly, all routes out of Sucre were blocked. We were warned by the owner of the hotel we were staying at that it would be dangerous for us to attempt to pass the roadblock and that we might have stones chucked at us. We dropped by the Pachamama today to say "hi" and you were at the mechanic's, but the manger at your hotel didn't feel that gringo motos would have an issue.
With the mixed opinions we decided to cautiously check it out for ourselves.
We did hit the road block but most people were supportive of us passing and we eventually did. One guy even moved a transport truck for us to get Jenn's bike through. We were offered alternative routes including a dry river bed which I traverse successfully to find that Jenn's bike was just behind said truck.
YMMV

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.
