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
