Anyone want to share a container from South Africa to Buenos Aires?

HI,

We, Peter and Leonie, intend to ship our two bikes from South Africa to Buenos Aires somewhere this October (2014). We think about flying them, unless we can find other people to share a container with. Sharing a container would obviously save a lot of money for all involved.

We inquired about shipping by container and found a 40ft container that already has some other motorbikes, but is not full yet....

We are looking for either a car or several motorbikes to fill it up. If you are interested, send a PM.

Cheers, Leonie

Amsterdam to anywhere

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.
