Hi,

I am shipping 4 bikes in a 20 feet container from Lisbon to Buenos Aires in the begining of November. Don´t you want to take a ride down to sunny Portugal and ship it together with us? Very cheap if we all share the container.

Hi Mick!!

We plan to have the bikes arriving to Bs As during the first week of December which means that the bikes must be shipped in the begining of November.

I was advised to avoid the arriving dates near christmas and new year because of the holliday season.

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.
