Survey: starting a motorcycle oasis/BnB in Manali
Folks,
I am a veteran motorcycle rider based out of San Francisco. Indian by birth. Very frustrated with how impossible it is to rent a adventure bike in India. So starting a motorcycle motel based out of Manali. We will begin business from May 2018. Stay tuned for more details. Rates are going to be affordable. Not really doing this for much profit but to support the lovely motorcycle community.
We would offer the following services:- Provide bikes for rent
- Provide a safe place to store/trickle charge your bikes
- Provide some basic maintenance
- Provide an address for you to ship supplies/parts in advance of your arrival
- A place to set up tent or a basic room
- Provide organized tours
- A community board or website so travelers in and out of Manali can co-ordinate their travels
- We will also buy and sell your bikes. Consignment also will be available. This will allow you to enter and exit India more easily without worrying about carnet or other beaureaucracy
- And finally organized tours into Nepal, Ladakh, Himalayas, etc.
- We will be incorporated in USA so will try to provide dependable insurance, liability, etc. that you need
- Arrange for safe pickup and drop-off from Delhi
- Customer service available via phone messenger service (Whatsapp, etc.)
Need some help/inputs:
- Which bikes would you like to rent?
- Which of these services mentioned above are less or more important (so we can prioritize our services).
- Is this something you guys would use?
I am a professional guy and I own a few AirBnB properties around the world so I know what customer service is. Hopefully we can help the community explore India better.

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.
