Drop-off and pick-up motorcycle in Central America
Hi travelers,
new to this forum but not new to traveling the world (I traveled solo with my motorcycle around the world five years ago).
Now I do the Panamericana with my motorcycle in stages and went with it through Alaska, Canada and USA already.
As I have to do the rest of the trip also in stages, I have to drop-off my motorcycle (US registered) in a country of Central America and pick it up after a certain time (up to 5-6 months) and go further. The same procedure will hit me in South America again, but first I have to get there.
I know about the import-export procedures and the holds on the motorcycle-import but I'm not sure about leaving the country by plane (to the US where I live but I'm German) without my motorcycle and then return by plane (again without the motorcycle) and leave the country with my motorcycle on the road into the next country.
Any country of Central America is a valid candidate for me for this process.
If you have recommendations to store securely the bike for some months in one of those countries, please let me know. So far I always rented a small secured storage unit for a few bucks but I'm happy to take any other recommendations.
Chris
