buying in santiago/selling in BA.

i'm looking to buy a bike in santiago area in a little less than a months time and eventually end up in ba, four months later. does anyone know of any local shops that buy used bikes in ba? i'm trying to make this as hassel-free as can be, so i can sell the bike and fly out. thanks.

Bike in Chile

I am in USA. I have a 2000 KLR650 that is now in Temuco Chile. I am going there in mid Nov and riding north. Bike will be in Arica Chile Dec 16. You can buy it from me there. I have a dealer friend who would sell it for you again, but he is in Temuco. Let me know if you are interested. Can send photos and misc.

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.
