Container space from Germany to Durban / South Africa

Hi there,

I am planing shipping a container end of July from 36304 Alsfeld in Germany to Durban / South Africa. There is still some space for more bikes. I can import your bike and apply for the south african logbook. And you can register your bike in your name here in RSA with south african number plates and licence disc on . After your trip you can sell your bike or store it for another trip.

I do not ship bikes with carnet ! Sorry but its always a hassle with them.

The bikes should be delivered in a normal bike crate 225x80x112 cm LxWxH , for extra cost I can crate your bike in Alsfeld as well.

The bikes should be available from early August in Port Shepstone, 120 km south of Durban.

cheers

Thomas

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.
