Oh to be young again, don´t you just hate them. However, one very important point that Ted missed and of which I unfortunatly have personal experience. You must get 3rd party/liability insurance with legal support. Latin America works the old Spanish system with regard to what actions are taking if you are involved in a mishap with another rider/driver/pedestrian and basically it is this, if who did what to whom cannot be resolved by all parties on the spot then all vehicles are impounded and the riders/drivers/pedestrians taken into custody, however, if you have legal assistance and 3rd party ins. the lawyer should be able to get you out before you get in if you see what I mean so you can await trial in the comfort of your own bivi/ditch. Older HU members will almost certainly remember having to get a "Bail Bond" for Spain, well this is just the same but the food is not so good. Additionally, being a young(b@st@rd) and a gringo to boot on a tiddler could make you a bit of a target for hard up coppers. Anyway, I hope that you really enjoy the trip, just remember, Ride safe.
