Something else to consider depending where in CA, Mexico might make more sense. The whole state of Quintano roo is a free zone that doesnt require a TIP. So if you are near enough or are considering storing the bike for a longer amount of time this would be good, because you just need to find a long term parking place and pay for that but not have to worry about TIP, etc. Another possible plus is Cancun often has cheap flights to Europe, and North America. Baja and parts of Sonora in Northern mexico are also free zones, but sounds like thats probably too far to travel to make sense. Within CA Costa Rica is definitely possible and I think Panama and Nicaragua are also possible the issue is that depending on how long you want to do this for the cost can add up because I think they all require it to be kept in a bonded warehouse (which can get expensive) rather than just regular parking.
