Good motorbike repair shop in Lusaka?

[horneb]

Hi - I'm currently in Lusaka with a BMW G650GS which has a badly dinted wheel rim (potholes!) - can anyone recommend a good repair shop?

Met a couple of guys at Eureka Camp in Lusaka (on KTMs) in June who had good things to say about the KTM dealership there which seemed to be close by the camp -south of the city. Reckoned to be overlander friendly, even if you're on a Beemer...

From another thread on HU-

The owners (Julie and Ray) have been riding KTMs for over 20 years, and have trained a local mechanic to fix them. I think they're moving out of their garage soon to the MX track South of Lusaka on the road to Livingstone.

Contact them at (260)-96-757-757. Give them a ring and maybe you'll decide to explore the waterfalls and wilderness of Zambia rather than just flying through it like most riders do on their way to somewhere else. There are miles of underexplored areas of this country...come have a look.

Thanks reggie3cl - I've been in touch - they are on their way back from a bush trip at the moment - and they are going to have a look at my beemer tomorrow.

Just to add to this thread:

Had a great experience with a local mechanic in Lusaka. His name is Gary Hindson. He is the mechanic for a local group of sportbike riders and he has a very well-appointed shop with a great staff about 15 kms south of town.
