Leaving a moto in Uruguay

Anyone know how long you can leave a Brit reg moto in Uruguay? Ride safe.

p.s. yes I have checked the HUBB.

Just found almost the last entry on the HUBB entitled "storing your bike for 12 months in Uruguay"

When all else fails read the instructions.

temp import permit to uruguay

Every time i've entered Uruguay (last was 2011) they have given me a 12 month temporary entry permit. depending on where you exit - they might not even ask to see the document - ie. when I've thaken the buquebus ferry (http://www.buquebus.com/) accross the river to Buenos Aires I was not asked to surrender documents prior to boarding the boat. When I got to the other side I did the normal temp import into Argentina.
Same when I travelled north into Brazil via Rio Branco - I was not required to "leave" Uruguay before entering Brazil - in fact the customs/aduana is several miles inside brazil and they did not do immigration there - I had to ride to the next town and find the police station where I got my passport stamped.
If you enter Argentina at one of the consolidated borders (the river crossing at Fray Bentos) the Immigration/Customs offices are shared by both countries and frequently the documents are simply passed from one officer to the other behind the counter.
Good Luck,

And make sure they give you the 12 month permit becouse I had to drive back from Montevideo to Frey Bentos = 600km. Stored my bike at the same place and the impression I got of the people and place was
