Long term storage (10 months), Ecuador or Colombia?
Hola de Loja EC,
I am touring S Am on a Chilean plated Honda falcon. It looks as though I may need to store it from Mid August until mid May of next year. My current importation to EC is for 90 days.
I would like to store it, until May, then ride it back to Chile next year and sell it. I plan to contact the various communities, but if anyone has info on where I could store it or the paperwork involved in freezing my importation in either country, I would much appreciate it.
Gracias,
n

Could you pleas elaborate? I take they can store my bike. Would they charge me, if so any idea how much? Who would I need to contact at the hotel to store my motor bike?
Do you know anything about handling the paperwork?

Contact Mike at Casa Blanca, It is a business and they have to eat so I am sure he will charge you a fair rate. Even if you find someone who will store it at there home it would be good to check with Mike to get an idea of how long you can store with out getting cross way of the law.

Andy at Cranky Croc Back packers in Bogota is biker friendly and would probably be able to help out. Tell him Hi from Clean Simon if you see him!

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.
