La Paz bike rental / sales
Hi guys,
Anyone know a place in La Paz (Bolivia) where I could rent a bike for a week, or to buy one and sell it back in a week? [This message has been edited by colebatch (edited 07 October 2005).]

Just had two XT600s serviced at Nosiglia Sport - superb service, complete confidence in the work. Really nice people and I've heard they hire bikes too - recommended.

Back from Bolivia ... thanks for the links. I hired an early model BMW 650 that had seen better days via Nosiglia. Wasnt the most reliable BMW I have ever ridden, but had a fun week anyway.
Some great photos for anyone who wants to take a peek at http://waltercamilla.openswarm.com/Bolivia/ - - - www.TokyotoLondon.com [This message has been edited by colebatch (edited 02 November 2005).]

There is a guy in La Paz who owns a few bikes that he hires out ... Africa Twins KLRs all sorts of stuff. His name is Massimo Giannini ... an Italian guy who is connected to the Nosiglia dealership thru marriage or something. Massimo (Max) will hire the bikes. I juat took one for 6 days, at $80 a day. I think he has had a couple of bad experiences with hiring out recently and he may be thinking of getting out of that line of things, so check with him. It should help if you can show him you are an experienced rider who knows how to look after an engine. Apparently he has had a couple of fried engines come back to him recently.
I dont have his email address here at work, but will get it for you later and update this post. max (att) madbol.com [This message has been edited by colebatch (edited 02 November 2005).]

Renting bikes isnt cheap and is only ever a short term solution for a short term trip
