try these.

Jas-Jet Air Services.
Talcahuaca 833 , 1st floor.
C1013AAQ, Buenos Aires.
Tel 0115811 7777.
email. Rcavallini {AT}} jasargentina.com

The R in the email refers to Rafael who speaks english.
Although their name refers to Air services they also send by sea.
We used them a couple of years ago when they sent our bikes by sea to Australia from BA. I think they will send anywhere you want.
We should be in BA around the 15th December. Ring us on 02627 15566175, its our mobile. We are english, have just moved to Argentina.
John and Annette.
==================
always obfuscate the email address so the scum spambots can't collect it! Grant

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.
