Contact Walter Nosiglia at Nosiglia Sport, Av. Costanera No. 29, (Calacoto), he's the official Honda delaer, and has stored many bikes for travellers.

storage - everywhere

KJ

I posted a message to the La Paz group via the Community Contact page/feature. The message goes out to those that sign up to receive messages for the given city or country. In my case I received a reply and was able to store my bike for three weeks. In turn I brought some hard to find parts back from the US. Later I used the community contact form to get a recommendation on a good place to buy tires in Mexico City. Follow this link: Contact a Community | Horizons Unlimited I recommend crafting your question in Spanish and English. Use Google translate as needed.

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.
