Please do a search, there's loads of info.

Basically:
1. Get a RUT number.
2. Make a deal on a bike.
3. Go to a notario to draw up the sale documents (power of attorney).
4. The title will be sent to a specified address in about 4 weeks.

It looks easy...

Hi,

Step 1 - the RUT Number

we got it yesterday, at the SII, Servicios Impuestos Internos

You only need your Passport, a copy of it, and any address... we used the Hotel address. We got the RUT Number in 10 minutes - for free!
Later they can send the official card somewhere or you pick it up, it takes at least a month to make it... but you don“t need it, because your number is already valid!

Step 2

We bought a bike, new - Honda CGL 125

Step 3

The guy offered to do all the paperwork for less than 20 bucks, not bad - or?

Now we are waiting... maybe we get the bike today...

later more...

See you - Jens

My friend Julie is on the road, later some pictures...

See you at the HU Meeting Germany, end of October

And the little Honda goes like a dream! We've hit the 1,000 km mark (ready for first service within 3 days - rather than the recommended 30!), we can now go faster than 70 kph! Wahoo! We've already met many friends and been chased by countless dogs along the way!

I wouldn't be on this adventure without the help of people like Jens, Motos Cordero and everybody who has posted comments to our request! Thank you all (and in case you didn't notice - there's one very happy lady buzzing around the North of Chile!)!!! :-D

Keep the rubber side down!
Julie
