Bike friendly in Lima, Peru

Hi guys,
I'm going on a trip around south america this year, I'll be there in about 5 to 6 weeks from now. After a fews months travelling, I will have to come back to europe for 3 to 4 weeks for personal reasons, and would like to store my bike somewhere around Lima.

Is there any place to recommend around ? Safe and reliable.

Cheers,
jb

I used the above a few times. For storage needs I connected with a rider in La Paz, Bolivia who kept my bike. To return the favor I brought some motorcycle parts that he needed when I came back to Bolivia. You may have have custom fees doing this, but wen I pushed the button at customs, the green light went on and I wasn't inspected...

Do keep careful track of the number of days left on your temporary vehicle importation permit (TVIP.) Peru will impound your bike if you are one day over the limit, no fine, no discussion, lots of tears. Double check the dates on your TVIP like you have obsessive compulsive disorder. The TVIP dates may not match your visa! A rider I know lost his bike about a year ago when he tried to leave Peru after staying ONE day too long.

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.
