Bike storage near Budapest

Hi, two of us are currently riding XT225s through Europe, but have to fly home for my sister's wedding in August. We're looking for somewhere to leave the bikes for a couple of weeks, possibly near Budapest in Hungary, although our route is very flexible and could fly home from somewhere else in eastern Europe.
Does anyone know anyone who may be able to help?
Much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions - they look like good places to stay regardless of needing to store the bike!
I'll get in touch and hopefully sort something out.
Thanks again

How far is motocamp from the Sofia airport? Looks pretty far... Expensive transfer?

190 km. Exactly 2hrs 15mins by car or moto.

I've done the trip twice recently. There are regular public transport buses to Sofia from the nearby township of Sevlievo.

Alternatively, MotoCamp offers a private taxi transfer service for 150 lev (= about 77 euros). Not too expensive if shared between two or more people.

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.
