Bike Service in La Paz, Baja California Sur
Hey blew my shock on one of the crazy dirt, rock and washboard roads in Baja California and am having a shock shipped to DHL office in La Paz. I'm looking for someone who can help me put the shock on and get me on the way. I've been hobbling south from Coco's Corner on my pogo stick of a suspension on my 650 dakar... any recommendations?

Skip - We are talking La Paz Baja? Mexico? I did run into Motos Baja, a Honda dealer on the main drag as you come into town from (1) - My shock was in Mexico City on Friday. Saturday was back in states in Louisville. Now UPS says it won't be here till Wednesday. Good God! This is adventure, isn't it?

WorldRider,
The two shops that were discussed are the only two in town. I'm living in LaPaz part-time now and will be flying there on Tues. the 4th. If you need anything let me know. (It is possible that I can pick up something for you at the local BMW shop here in the States and have it to you by Tues night). Send me an email to: kpick01@yahoo.com
Just let me know if you need anything. I’d be happy to help.
Kevin

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.
