Bike crate for use

Hi
Arriving in Chile late September 2009 and will not be needing our purpose built bike crate. Takes a KTM 990. If anyone needs one to ship out of Chile let me know.

Container

I'd like to get my bike from Chile to New Zealand, so I could use the container. Unfortunately, I won't be there until December/January time frame. Is there any way to store it somewhere cheap?

Try contacting villakunterbuntvalpo (at) yahoo.de
I've just been in touch with them regarding shipping. They live in Valparaiso, maybe they can help with storage for the crate - don't know.

Hi Bjorn
We are staying there when we are waiting for our bike to arrive. When do you hope to be there.
They will store the crate for 10000 to 15000 peso per month.


Chris, I have someone after the crate as well. If they turn it down then i will come back to you.

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.
