Where ever you buy the oil from .. in remote places they'll have to dispose of it some how.. Old sump oil used to be used on motox tracks to keep teh dust down.. could be of use on some roads...!

Oil disposal................?
After living on dirt roads in Nicaragua and costa Rica for many years.......the best place to dispose of your oil is on a dirt road. This application has 2 functions: 1: It controls the dust (pulvo). 2. It helps solidify the road. 3. the locals will be grateful as well.

I use synthetic oil in my bike and change it often .
It has lots of life left in it but the bike oil filter is a bit primitive and does not filter too well .
When I drain the oil from the bike I then " re-use" it in the tractors and lawnmower etc .
Give your old oil to a [poor] farmer ,it's also good for lubricating slow moving chains on farm machinery .

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.
