In Cali, Colombia, looking for a bike, preferably foreign

Just arrived in Cali, foreign bikes here seem to have dried up unlike the rest of the country this time of year. Eager to start my trip on two wheels, cheers, Danny

This is the season for heading south to Argentina for the summer, so you really need to plan ahead if you're looking for a foreign registered bike around Colombia in October to January.

Its fairly easy and legal to buy Colombian registered bikes, but the prices are high due to the 80% import tax here. The good thing is that you most likely will get all or most your money back if you come and sell it here again

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.
