Any suggestions from you world travellers on how we could make this work so we don't have to wait for retirement?

What about purchasing a moto in, for example, Mexico and leaving it there when you go home? You can travel around Central America and cross borders with your Mexico licensed moto. Just return the moto to Mexico before you return home.
Fly to Mexico on a round trip flight, ride your moto in CA for two weeks, store it, and fly home.
I am doing exactly that with a Peru licensed moto - fly and ride trips before retirement. I purchased a Peru licensed moto, rode it for 6 weeks, and then stored it. It needs no TVIP when stored in Peru. Maybe something like that will work in Central America.
You'll probably have to be satisfied with something the locals ride. I have a Honda 250cc moto in Peru, which is perfect for adventure and travel on the roads less traveled, which are the fun roads anyway. BTW, I flew out of Thunder Bay to Lima, paying with US dollars $650 round trip.
