I'm stuck in Tunisia until the Tunisian government lets the ferries to Europe start up (April 4th at the earliest) and the EC lets non-EC citizens enter the Schengen zone.
At present I am in Djerba and doing OK.

shipper
If you're looking for ocean shipping, your best option might be out of Lima. Five years ago I used Leader Freight to ship the bike home. The agent was Nestor Tambini. (511) 475-7000. Not the most knowledgeable but he got it done. Went to their office for the paperwork and then to a sketchy part of Lima to have the crate built to size. The carpenters and I loaded the crate into a truck, locked the door and it went directly to the freight warehouse. 6 weeks later it arrived. It all worked well except US customs took several weeks to release the crate. Apparently there are a lot of drugs seized from freight coming from Peru. Although I did not hire an agent at this end and processed the paperwork myself. (Suggest that you don't get involved with Gaston in Florida). Several complaints about him although he treated me fairly. A contact at this end is TTC Total Trasportation Concept in Inglewood. CA. If you need a receiving agent in the LA area, they treated me good. Good luck.

Agreed, Ecuador is a very nice place to get stuck in.

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.
