BMW Service in Toronto ASAP`
Hi All
Im currently on a RTW and am in a desperate hunt to find a cheaper alternative to do a full service for my BMW 2007 650 Dakar as I nearly had a heart attack at the quote from BMW Toronto.
Does anyone know a good garage where I could do this ASAP?
Thanks
Sam

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.
