Thanks,
I had looked at the website and had only found a car dealership for BMW in Teguc, but when I emailed them to enquire about bike servicing the email address was invalid. Do you have the link to the webpage you accessed it from please? Cheers.

I don't know which way you are headed, but I can recommend the BMW dealer in San Jose, Costa Rica (actually a suburb, can't remember the name). They are part of the BMW car dealership there. Mechanics name is Cristian, very knowledgable guy.

Sorry about that. You are right this is an auto only dealership. I guess that only leaves you with El Salvador or Costa Rica.

If you're going that far down then I can recommend Panama City. They sell enough bikes there to have reasonable mechanics. I had my Dakar serviced there with no problems in 2004

Here in Guatemala we have a full service BMW motorcycle dealer and a independant shop. By far your best choice in Central America for parts and service.

All that I have been able to find in Tegus is a Honda motorcycle dealership that doesn't have much, and a small off-road/dual-sport-oriented aftermarket parts shop just off Avenida 6e in Comayaguela.

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.
