BsAs

Hi there,

forget about shipping your bike out of Brazil, go to BsAs or Montevideo. Or maybe even up to the Guianas. Saludos mika

Starting May2015

Hi,

I have to think and decide if I do it. But this will happen in the next few days.

Potential STart is mid May, timing is to stay sub-shara for the summer and cross beg September.

Lets see.

Stay tuned and communicate your schedule.

Hi Mika,

Why should the OP forget about shipping out of Brazil? Is it difficult?

Cheers,

Scott

Hi Scott, yes difficult. But maybe if he is at the right place at the right time it all works out easy, but i doubt it. Maybe try and ask Rod from Bikershelpdesk Iguazzu Falls, he helped people shipping their bikes. Mika from Russia

Adrian at Econotrans and Duncan at African Overlanders are both based in CapeTown and sort shipping. I will be using one or the other in the next couple of weeks to ship to Buenos Aires. I will have a crate to move on once I get there, shipping takes about 45 days.

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.
