I am in BsAs for another 6 days. Give me a PM if you arrive before I leave. Too bad we missed each other in Ushuaia. I have a great contact here if you are thinking about shipping your bike to another continent. They just packed up my bike and are doing 2 more today.

Hi Jeff, please give us the contact of the shipper from BA. I need to send my bike to Melbourne, and have no luck from Chile.
Do to ship by air or sea?

Here is a SHIPPING COMPANY in Santiago de Chile.

I used the company in BsAs. Things seemed to have went well.

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.
