Need contact info for Dakar Motos in Buenos Aires

I´ve been searching, but can´t find the contact info for Dakar Motos in Buenos Aires. If anyone has it, please let me know asap (address, email, telephone). Also, who is the best person to deal with there about shipping a bike. Do they speak English (not necessary, but could be helpful).

I´m in Mar del Plata and need to make arrangements next week if I´m going to do it (although also thinking of leaving the bike and riding north in a few months)

I just left my moto at Dakar Motos for storage with the plan to ride it north next November m/l. Let me know if you put yours in storage there and plan a trip north maybe we could ride together for a way.
Will also need to go down in September for a couple of weeks and renew temp. import papers.

For you info, Ecu Logistic do not handle any shipping of motorcycle by air, only by boat. Fox Cargo do. I'll get a quote to ship by air my GS 2002 for Panama to Buenos Aires soon. I'll let you know

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.
