Hello from Peru

Hey everyone,

My name is Joseph. I am originally from Georgia, but currently live in Peru, by way of a year in Costa Rica. I live in the city, Huaraz. It is situated 9,500 feet up in the Andes mountains.

I grew up riding fourwheelers and dirtbikes... and I desperately miss not having one! I've come to the forum looking for advice on buying a Chinese bike as those options are never ending here in Peru and they are about 1/3 of the price of the Hondas.

Looking forward to some good info!

Joseph

I suggest you send him a personal message from these forums.

Thanks Spud, I sent OG one yesterday afternoon, so hopefully I will hear from him soon. I did notice he hasn't had much activity in awhile. Although he is still posting pictures to his flickr account. I shall wait and see!

He also doesn't live in Peru anymore, according to his signature.
