Welcome to the HUB..

This is a FAQ and as such is available on the 'Blue Bar' thingies towards the top of the page - this one under "ON THE ROAD"... you should spend some time reading through them as there is a lot of info there. But to answer your specific thing ..


All shipments SHOULD be found on (and entered there if you have one )

If its not there it should be...

One thing ... you'll have to say where your shipping from...

Have looked through the HUBB shipping postings and found nothing recent there.

Still looking for any recent information on shipping a bike Via air freight) directly to either Punta Arenas, Chile, or Ushuaia, Argentina.

I will be coming from either Thailand or Japan.

Anyone ?

The basics: ship to a major port where brokers are accustomed to motorbikes. Otherwise, perhaps suffer the consequences…or perhaps make out just fine.

Ushuaia and Punta Arenas are not such ports. Think about Buenos Aires or Santiago/Valparaiso. Then post back with results.

Good luck.

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.
