Taking several bikes from Pa to Mexico/ Central America
I am in the very early stages of planning a motorcycle trip to Mexico and Central America in '23. I am a U.K citizen ( British passport), but reside and have been a permanent U.S resident ( not citizen) for over 30 years. I hold a motorcycle, car, & CDL license.
I am planning on purchasing 2, maybe 3 motorcycles here for friends to use. They would be registered in my name and owned by me ( fully paid for, no loan).
My friends both reside outside of the US., one in U.K, the other in New Zealand ( but is a British citizen), and they both have full motorcycle licenses.
My question is regarding the requirements of taking these 'bikes, registered in my name and owned by me, to Mexico and Central America. I understand my friends will be legal to ride them in the U.S, on their own valid, or International licenses, and I can insure them, but what are the requirements on the Temporary Import Permit ( T.I.P), and insurance going into Mexico and Central America, being as they will all be in my name?
. Registering these other bikes in their names is not an option as they are not U.S residents/ Citizens - same as it is for myself when I return to U.K as I am no longer a resident there, and cannot legally purchase and register a 'bike there.
I'm sure this scenario has been addressed before. Any and all info/ advice is greatly appreciated.
