Hi guys,

I'm also interested to know how you sent your bikes to Europe? I'm trying to find a way to ship mine from Cartagena/Colombia to Finland/Europe.

Thanks,
Mikko

Shipping Cartagena to Europe

Dear All!

The shipping... how did it go? What did it involve and was it much costly?

Best regards,
Ruta

Hey all, hey Rutaaaaaa!!!

My plan was to ship from Cartagena to Hamburg, Germany in two weeks.

My contact is Olaf Kleinknecht of In Time Hamburg.

A very helpful and friendly guy. Unfortunately my engine broke some days ago so I don´t know, if I´ll be able to reach Colombia. Stuck in Peru at the moment.
Somebody interested in sharing a container from Lima or Arica to Europe?

Greetings,
tobi

Hi Tobi
Sorry to hear that your 640 has issues. Check with Toby Shannon in Huanuco at

adventure motorcycle tours in Peru and all South America - Home

He knows Japanese and Austrian single cylinder bikes and has a full mechanic's workshop. His address is also in the iOverlander app.

Good luck from Ecuador.

We met at Pollo's in Azul

Hey Chris,

thanks! Found a good mechanic here in Trujillo and will see if he´s able to do some magic to my engine.

Is that crazy bike of yours still running?

Greetings to Equador!

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.
