Workshop requested in Valparaiso or Viña del Mar
My bike broke down once again! I am tempted to set fire to it but must try to remain calm!!!!
We managed to wheel it few streets to a hostal. Now we need to find someone competent who could look at the b*tch and tell me what the hell is going on??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need someone in Valparaiso or Viña del Mar. IF not I will have somehow to drag it to Santiago to Jose Meyer and Rafael. But ain´t easy!
Please let me know asap!!!!!
Thanks

Thanks Bert! We found a nice workshop in Viña del Mar. I must dig their card and put details in the HUBB!
We found the problem in the end, appaling job from CTork in Bariloche and they fitted a faulty VR! Thugs!
I bought a new one in the end and Alistair fitted it. The bike is now doing ok! Just few more weeks before being back in good old england!

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.
