Can i please 'borrow' an Oregon address?!
I'm actually in Bend, Oregon, now to buy a bike that i found on cycletrader.com. I should have asked earlier, but can anyone please let me use their address for the registration and insurance documents?
I'm an Australian mid RTW and flew into Vancouver last week from Japan, but couldn't find many options in West Canada so made my way here arriving today.
Once i get the bike i'll ride north to kill time with friends in Seattle and Kelowna (CA) until my brother's Oct 18th arrival, so can either collect it on the way to south or send you $ to post the docs to an on-route address. (we haven't actually worked out the route to Mexico yet)
Thanks if you can help. And maybe i'll see you at your house with !

Hello Simon
There is a web site that is very popular in the States and others from a far have joined. Adventure Rider Motorcycle Forum it is easy to join. Their members have a tent space thread which help members contact others for housing, local info, and riding. I put your aforementioned request on their Regional Forum / PacWet. Hopefully someone in that part of the world will help. I have clicked on both your email and website and failed to get on. The email was returned and the server was full at geocities. Please PM me with updated data. Also use our Community page here.
I live on the East Coast so can't help you anymore than that for now.
Be safe.

Address sorted
Thanks to all those who replied. I have an address, and for extra info to others i insured an '07 KTM 640 Adventure comprehensively (everything-liability, theft, self caused damage) for $382 with Progressive. And when i cancel the policy they will pro rata refund all remaining premium, with no cancellation charges etc. So it's especially cheap for just a couple of months.
I'm going to use more of the Adventure Rider site too now that i see it is quite valuable in the US. Cheers

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.
