Hi Jim,

We're working on plans to come to Capetown -- trying to get the bike shipped from Buenos Aires to South Africa around Nov 20th-ish. Do you have room for a couple of days while we get organized?

Write me off-line at chrisratay@gmail.com

Thanks,
Chris

Back packer's
HOWDY...

Why not try BIG BLUE BACK PACKER'S real friendly to biker's and very close to the water front and all the bike shop's.

These guy's are cool and have all the stuff you need to sort stuff out in capetown...And the owner rode his bike from addis ababa to cape town.

And there cheap....i stayed there after a west coast trip on my africa twin.

Regard's to all

DANO....

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.
