Just to follow up in this, I visited 4-44 this week.


The review is still accurate, the guys are still there!

I took my BMW F650 GS to them for new pads front and rear and oil and filter change. They had all parts in stock and were able to complete the work the same day.

They also ordered me a new front tyre, would have been next day delivery but I left it too late in the day to confirm the order.

Really good guys and will look after you and your bike!

Service and tyres Ankara Turkey

I needed tyres and a service before hitting the Stans and China.

+1 to the above comments.

The Mighty DR needed a service and tyres. I was not keen on letting the bike out of my sight but the guys at the shop were happy to let me into the workshop for entertainment and some education. Also for some route advice and a bite to eat.

Finally and above what you would expect from a bike shop they helped me with a LOI disaster

If you are in Ankara and in need of some fettling this place has my vote.

Thanks guys

Thank you for the update. Im proceeding to Ankara sometimes end of Nov 2015 and need tires for my KLR 650, new chains and sprockets for my team members Hon CB500X. I wonder if the owner can advise me on spares for my team member Triumph T110 model 1956?

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.
