Check out the International BMW Motorrad web site.

http://www.bmw-bike.com/

Pick the continent, then the country and then BMW Partner or Dealer, etc.

- If motorcyclists claim to be individuals, why then do so many of them ride in packs?

For Australia, your first place to look is Bikepoint (www.bikepoint.com.au). This is an excellent trading post for all brands of motorcycle.

I can give you reputable dealers in the Sydney and Brisbane areas (from experience):

Sydney - My first choice is ProCycles in Hornsby (at the far north of the city). I have dealt with them for years, as have many other people I trust, and all reports are universally favourable. Excellent workshop, knowledgable and relaxed sales staff, lots of stock. Also a Suzuki and Yamaha dealer.

Also Sydney: Tom Byrne Motorcycles seem OK, though I've never dealt with them much. No bad reports. They are in St Peters, a few kms south of the city centre. Also a Triumph and Aprilia dealer.

Brisbane: Morgan & Wacker are the only dealer in town. My experience of them is a bit negative, the shop is also a HD dealership and there is a lot of "snootiness" in the air. I also don't like being made to feel that getting mechanical service is a privilege. I test rode an F650 there but went and bought the same bike from another dealer because I disliked the vibe in their shop.

The other dealer (who I actually bought from)was Coastline BMW which is in a town called Caloundra about 1 hour north of Brisbane. I'm very pleased with them so far.

For mechanical service in Brisbane I go to the BM Shop. (www.bmshop.com.au). This is a small workshop with limited stock of parts, but good workmanship.

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.
