Hi Bunny Punnia
We are from Russia.
We want travel from Mumbai to Delhi
3 jan(mumbai) to 14 jan(delhi)
Can anyone recommend any Enfield or other moto dealers/mechanics etc or suggest the location of Mumbai(Bombay), in either Bombay or Goa. Every city has a street where all the shops selling the same stuff are located.
Want to rent a bike or possibly buy a bike with a guaranateed buyback(better). Where do other travellers sell their bikes?
We will be in Mumbai 3 jan 2005 - 2 man & 1 women

Thanks

Big bike tyres in India

Hi,
I realise this is an old thread but I'll put my experience here. We could not find tyres in India, 140/80 17 and 150/70 18, in July 2014. Apparently a few years back the Indian government changed the law and now tyres sold in India must be approved (INSS) which I'm told is a costly exercise so if the market is small for the big Adventure type bike tyres nobody will spend the money to import the tyres and get them approved.
I ended up getting tyres sent to Delhi from ZenOverland in the UK. It cost quite a bit in freight and duty but at least we got the right tyres for our bikes. ZenOverland did a great job getting the tyres to us in under a week. I would recommend them if you need tyres to be sent overseas.

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.
