Hi Motylek,

I shipped from Hamburg to Valparaiso (Chile) and back with Martina and Enzo ( villakunterbuntvalpo@yahoo.de ) - they make the shipping of about 150 Motorcycles per year. Martina prepares you an Excel sheet with all the costs (you just have to ask kindly-maybe ask two times)
The price you mentioned is really good, but I guess its not the full price (Customs/habour costs, storage etc.)...

Cheers carliO

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.
