Buying bikes in Central/South America.
My father and I are planning a trip in June - July 2014 leaving Australia we will fly to the USA. From there we plan to ride through Mexico, Central America and South America we have no time limit on out trip, we plan to take it as it comes.
We are fairly well experienced in long bike rides having spent ten months on the road in Europe, North Africa, Middle East and the Balkans
We are after a bit of help from anyone who has had experience in these countries and could assist us with the following questions.
• If we purchase bikes in USA can we sell them in South America and what are the implications if any.
• Can we purchase bikes in South America for such a trip? I have heard Chile is the best/easiest country to buy bikes in???
• How does Insurance for bikes operate in South and Central America?
• Where are some of the NO GO zones in Mexico, Central and South America
Thanks in advance for your help and advice
Matt and Doug
