Been in the Guad area 13 years and never heard of Cycleshop. Maybe it used to be under a different name? Got an address and ph number?

Ranger , instead of asking for input on a particular bike shop it might have been more likely to produce useful answers if you had described why you need the services of a bike shop, and for what particular bike . - parts, tires , general tune up, major blow up ???

Guadalajara has a goodly number of small moto parts stores , brand dealerships and specialty shops for the chopper crowd, sport bikes or the utility bike sector aka "pizza bikes " of 100 to 200 cc .

If it is tires or general repairs for a gringo's touring bike you could look up that particular brand service in GDL . Or you could go to one of the general repair shops that deal with that size of bike . No point in taking an Africa Twin to a shop dealing only in Italika .Many small shops do not balance tires .

I just happened to be in GDL and in need of a rear tire in April this year and wound up getting excellent service at a business called REACMOBI .
Even though I showed up unwittingly at the hour they were preparing to close up for a 3 or 4 hour siesta they stayed open and installed and balanced a new Metzeler rear . They are a parts and general repair shop in GDL proper west of the historic center There were all sorts of bikes as customers rode in on Honda, Benelli , HD ,BMW and more brands. . You can find all about them and their location if you email your needs to reacmobi2@hotmail.com ( or search their name and street view for an image and map location as Reacmobi ,Calle Porfirio Díaz 48, Oblatos, 44700 Guadalajara, Jal., Mexi )

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.
