Hi Vincent/all
we have now bought one bike XT600E from a garage and they are going to sort out all of the paperwork, should be done in 7 days.
If you buy a bike as a private sale then its necessary to use a notaria to change over the ownership of the bike, there is one in the center of Santiago that will do this with a temporary RUT{tax number} they are Notaria Maria Gloria Archaran Toledo and the street is Av. Matias Cousino 154 , the telephone number is 4903700 from the Paginas Amarillas {Yellow Pages}
We are staying in a hostel near to the Bellavista area its Hostel Forestal, Coronel Santiago Bueras 120, Parque Forestal, Santiago, tel {56} {2} 6381347 , email
hostalforestal@hotmail.com the price is $6,000 pessos about 7 pounds for a bed in the mixed dorm. Its a good spot near to the metro and also near to the bus routes, the staff are very good and friendly. Have a good trip
