Anyone still in BAs going to Viedma? need favour!

hi,
this is the story: we bought some 3rd Party insurance for our 2 bikes, and the scanner the broker uses to send documents by email broke down! So I have no docs and we are far from BAs!

IF anyone is still in BAs and coming to Viedma, could you go to the broker (near El Retiro train station) and bring the docs for us?

The insurance details and contact name are:

María Jimena Barrio
Gestora Jr
SURASSUR Broker de Seguros
Lavalle 362 7° Piso
Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (C1047AAH)
T: 54-11-5777-2154 int. 1605
F: 54-11-5777-2157

Tedmagnum and Duncan, if you guys read this: do you both have the same problem or did you get all your docs (including green card)?

Please let us know, thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Insurance documents

Hi Maria, we are still in Buenos Aires due to scattered showers, will clear tomorrow and we will leave for Azul, Bahia Blanca and Viedma early in the morning. i just called your insurance company and got a fax tone, called again and Maria (your contact) is not available.

Seems their fax is working, perhaps you could identify a fax number at a locutorio near you, call your contact and have her fax the insurance documents to you. Or, have your contact at the insurance company call me at my cell phone: 15 6811 1125 and let me know when I can pick up your documents to bring them to you in Viedma. This will have to happen right now, as it is 13:15 Tuesday already and the insurance company probably closes at 17:00.

waiting to hear from you via e-mail or here. Ed xfiltrate

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.
