Motorcycle storage needed in London.

Hi all, I need a place to keep my bike off the streets while I'm away (going to South America) . I could return the favour whenever you need in Ecuador (plenty of family in Quito and my parents in Cayambe, close to the Panamerican) whilst or after your trip.

Usually I park on the street, in East London (UK) but I don't want to leave it there for the time I'll be away (7th April till 9th May). It's a Paneuropean. I don't really know anybody in London with a place to help, so, If you have spare room in your garage I'll be really happy.

Marco.

Thanks mate. I see there are some great people willing to help within the HU community but I am actually looking for storage within London, I know it's not easy and I'm trying other options too. I'll keep in mind every offer or suggestion though.

5 mins from J14 M1, about an 45 mins up the motorway from J1 Brentcross (50 miles) if that's any help.

Cheers
Pete

I live in North Essex near Colchester No Garage, but off road parking if you want? same place where my bike is parked.
Depending on bike can put it round the side of my house in the back, NO one goes round there as I own 7 Dogs

I thank you very much guys for offering your help. At the moment I'm just waiting confirmation from someone who might be able to help in west London (I would have to travel about 12 miles from my place in east London, not bad), which would be the best place, so far, to store my bike, if I don't find some other place. Otherwise I'll let you know.
Thanks again.

Marco

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.
