Hi Alex!

Our box is supposed to arrive on the 15.3 in Valpo. It's a pretty big box for 2 BMW's 4.2 cbm.

I'am sure you can find someone to cut it down.
Do you know the villa Kunterbunt in Valpo? Apprt from a hostel Enzo and MArtina shipping bikes in and out of Chile.

Hope to see you in Valpo!

Crate

Alex, hi there!

Just in case it doesn't work out with Claudia and Werner's crate.

Friends of mine (Heidi & Bernd) who visited Japan last year got their crates from a local Harley Davidson dealer here - for free!!!! Just another option.

Take care and safe riding!

Hi Alex,
I'm in Arica at the moment and need to ship my sidecar back to Germany. I brought my sidecar to Valpo with Enzo & Martina from Villa Kunterbunt. They also offer paperwork and crate building.
Do you fancy sharing a container? Where are you shipping to?
(At the very moment I try to ship back from Arica - but havent found any shipping agency yet where I can do so)

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.
