Lightbulb Bikes in Europe

Hi Erik,

If you don't have a solution yet, your best bet is probably MotoXplorers in Portugal, they are specialized in that kind of renting and have brand new and well supported bikes. I've rented bikes from them a couple of times and was always impressed with their support, professionality, availability and friendliness.

Best regards,
Joe

I might have 2 bikes for you guys this summer

Hi there,

I have got a 2004 and a 2005 BMW F650GS Dakar (both ABS) in my garage near Nuremberg/Bavaria/Germany. Both in good/very good condition. Are you still interested in renting 2 bikes this summer?

I have just sent you an email with my contact Details.

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.
