Need a tyre
Hey there,
Currently in Belize and moving into Guatmala in a couple of days. I need a new rear tyre for my 1996 BMW F650.
I know there's a Beemer dealer in Guat but where???
Can someone tell me the location and directions or a better place to get tyres in Guat please?
Thanks,
Mark.

A 17" street tire may be available in Chetumal. Also, there is Cancun with a BMW dealership, moto rental companies...
GT City (BMW dealership) and Xela if you continue into Guatemala.

If you are still in Belize, there is a motorcycle dealer situated on a farm at Spanish Lookout, you head six mile west of Belmopan on the Ca13, and take a dirt road north somewhere near Georgeville, about three mile in (I think) this farm sits above right on a left hand bend.
I managed to obtain a Kenda K270 (4.50 x 18) rear, summer last year for my Baghira.
He has a auto and bike repair shop situated in a barn with a Spares lock up, not what you expect in the middle of the countryside!
Best wishes
Alec

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.
