Motorcycle garage in Cusco?

Hi all,

Seems like I need to do some bearing work for my gearbox in Cusco... :thumb down:

Do you know if lobo motos are still there? Do you know if there is any other shop?

I want to do the work myself (so if something goes wrong, I know who to blame ).

I cant tell you a specific shop but in the area of the Streets "Garcilazo de la Vega" and "Wayna Capac" are a lot of shops. I am shure you will finde there a place to work. I changed there my oil my reare tire. For a few Soles its no problem to get a place to work and a helping hand. There are also some shops if you need something.

Greetings
Martin

Hmm, I was in Cusco last November and visited the Norton Pub, not a bike nor a biker in sight ! Just another overpriced tourist bar, maybe it used to be different.

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.
