The basic procedures for crossing borders In Central America are as follows: First you need to get your passport stamped out of the country your leaving at migración (migration) and than get your vehicle permit and the permit for yourself cancelled at la aduana (customs). Upon entering the next country you get your passport stamped in at migración and than go to la aduana for permits for the vehicle and yourself. The amount of time and money you spend doing this simple process can vary considerably.
I drove my 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 from Northern Michigan down To San Jose, Costa Rica in the fall of 2008 to finish some dental implant work I had started there in July and to enrol in a Spanish Learning School for 3 weeks while doing a "homestay" with a Costa Rican family.
The border crossing information is designed to help the novice who may not speak very much Spanish or has never gone through border crossings in Central America develop some strategies to do so, thus saving time and money. The rest of the site's goal is to also inform and maybe entertain. The focus is not just about a motorcycle trip, rather it is about reflections on the different countries and people I experienced as well as why I sought dental care outside the U.S. and wanted to find a Spanish speaking school. It’s really about me learning how to do a blogging site while on the trip, working on becoming a better writer and the adventure of learning about Latin America. Simply put, I want to learn while perhaps helping others learn, remembering that it’s not always important as to what mode of travel you arrive in, but that you simply arrive.

**from the European HardButt tour, 5000 miles and 9 countries crossing Europe on my motorcycle..
I believe that you need 3 fundamental things in order to travel long distances by motorbike:
two wheels with an engine , some petrol along the way and the desire to go places and to Me that one, sure does not lack…
...At times when i was driving in total solitude, thinking if I was living a dream and realizing that i was that dream my heart would fill up with joy so I would let go of the grip from the handle-bar and with my arms wide open to the sky I would scream like a madman, oh yes ! because in order to do what I am doing I must be mad , mad like Van Gogh!

Homepage of a 15,000 km solo motorcycle trip throughout India, of which the south-to-north route (8,000 km) is linked with a fundraising action for a local NGO, high up in the Himalayas. The return route is not fixed yet, but will probably follow the eastern side of India.
Start of the trip is planned for May 15, 2012 (from India's south point in Kanyakumari).

"In June 2005 I started on my Journey to ride first to Alaska then to Argentina. The site has a daily blog, photos and detailed progress maps." I bought a new BMW R1200GS in Anchorage, and didn't want (nor could really afford) a set of Jessies. I heard horror stories about breaking the standard BMW panniers later, and as I am on the road to Argentina figured I should stop somewhere and relieve myself of the worry. Here's what I came up with, I made them in a muffler shop in Oaxaca . I can email more photos or explanations if required. Email address and other photos are on my website."

The tale of my adventure from England to Mhamid on the edge of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. A real boys adventure and doable for the average person. Fear, elation, humour, exhaustion, wonder and all kinds of other emotions along the way.

My girlfriend and I decide to go for a ridiculous scooter adventure. And I think we accomplished that. We jumped on our 49cc Yamaha C3 Scooter, completely overloaded it, and then rode it over the Mountains in BC, from Vancouver, BC, Canada, to Toronto, Ontario.
4500kms, in 11days. We even did 650kms one day! Not bad on a scooter that wouldn't go faster than 55kms/hr downhill. Don't get me started on uphills!

While up mountains at 5000m, it is unwise to make massive, life-changing plans. The lack of oxygen may well be affecting you. So if you decide suddenly to go on a round-the-world adventure on a 21yr old motorbike for a year or more, think Very Carefully. Or just do it.

India on a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 - Until you unlearn all the rules of the road and riding styles in the western world as you know it you will battle in India. The first thing you can do is remove your mirrors and remember to turn you headlight OFF.

"I am riding around the Mediterranean basin, travelling by motorcycle. The route is 75% off-road, with a total projected distance of around 15,000 miles. I am using the trip as an opportunity to raise awareness of the charity Riders for Health, whose work is making a real difference. The journey starts in London in early April 2004, and will end several months later, when I return...I will also be riding a new(ish) Honda XR650L, which is currently being prepared by David Lambeth. The anticipated length of the trip is 4-6 months, and I will head to Genoa, Tunisia, Libya, etc (anti-clockwise) to make the most of the Desert spring and eastern European summer."

We left Montreal, Canada in October of 2007 to escape the coming winter and see the world. The sights have been incredible so far but who would have thought that Uruguay could be so cold in August?

Strange things tend to happen when you give a normal person a motorbike, they tend to feel the extraordinary is no longer out of reach.

All my life I've heard rumors of strange cultures and wondrous sights. I thought I knew the world from these rumors. Then I started reading books of people's travels and I began to realize that the world I've been told about might not be the world as it actually is. So I set off to find out the truth for myself and find the world is a very different place than the media would have had me believe. Along the way I hope to share what I can of my experience to help others understand what I have seen...

We knew travelling in Central Asia and Russia during the early parts of winter was going to be cold. Temps dropped to -15 degrees outside and almost -4 inside the 4x4. Wrap up warm folks.

I always read the HU newsletter with great enthusiasm, and now I myself am on the road living the dream. If you're interested in my story, you can read about it on the web page I have put up."

"We are Dan and Linz. We are trundling around the globe on motorbikes with a tent. The big plan is to go around the world, from East to West, over the course of 3 years..." We each have a Suzuki DRZ400S, certainly not the most popular choice for a long distance biker, but that’s something that appeals to us. Linz is a mere 5′ 3″, weak as a baby and stubborn, so the bike choice was limited!

Pat has ridden 100,000 miles around the world and four times across Africa, always 2-up with his wife Ness (they married on the road after a proposal in Timbuktu). Having visited 100+ countries this site has some extraordinary photos, tips on bike modifications for the big trip, a kit list, route outlines and information about his recently published book 'BEARBACK, The world overland' endorsed by Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
The site also details their setting up of a Land Rover 110 Defender TD5 in South Africa in which they undertook a 35,000 km safari through the whole of southern Africa.
