Bike swap - In California for ???

Hello,
I’m located in Northern California, 1 hours ride from San Francisco, the Napa Valley Wine country, Pacific Ocean and 1 ½ hours from Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Mountains. Great starting point for a Pacific Northwest tour. I currently have four bikes and would love to hear from anyone interested in a swap in Europe or possible other destinations. I’ve been riding for over 25 yrs and am Motorcycle Safety Foundation Instructor (very safe rider). Please drop me an e-mail and we can discuss the possibility.
Thanks!
Kevin

Talking Super Tenere in Capetown

We have an XTZ750 Yamaha Super Tenere we will leave in Capetown, South Africa if we cant sell it.
We are keen to go to Canada and USA this June. Do you still want to do a bike swap?
What sort of bike do you have? Do you have access to a motorhome or a car that you would swap?
Check out our bike on www.horizonsunlimited.com/tstories/peck

Let us know what works for you!

We are semi retired and very flexible.

We will leave the bike with a Horizons member near Capetown.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheers, Patrick and Belinda Peck and Miss Adventure II

Swap

Then I could be looking for a bike to ride to Australia but that might be to much to ask unless you wanted to ride it back ??

Cheers Kanga

Original post was in 2002, and by his profile, he was last here early 2010 so I'm guessing you are not going to get much from him.

Cheers

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.
