VicMitch is correct, you don't need TVIP paper while in Baja. Cross over to mainland Mexico (mostl commonly by ferry...) and you have to get the importation paperwork. So, you can leave a bike in the Baja for a long time without worry about losing a deposit, because you haven't imported the bike...

Do something nice for them, like bring back a bottle of Havana Club Ron or some cigars to show you care. I left my bike with a guy in Bolivia when I travel home for three weeks. I got in touch with him via the Contact a Community feature. You can use it for country specific advice, like where to get good tires in Mexico, DF.
PS: Take lots of Euros to Cuba. If you have US credt cards or ATM cards, they won't work in Cuba. You'll get charge a 10% 'commission' for exchanging US dollars. So take a stack of Euros and you'll get the best exchange rate. Do your research before going, because the Internet sucks big time in Cuba. Slow as beans and expensive. Have fun!
