Motorcycle licence required in South America?
Hi there,
I am looking at doing a motorbike trip around SA starting Feb 2013.
This may sound like a stupid question but will I need a motorcycle licence while over there? Or will an international drivers licence (car) be sufficient to keep authorities happy (there isnt alot distinguishing vehicle classes i.e car/motorbike on international licences)?
I know how to ride but living rural means i've never had to worry about a licence for roads in New Zealand.
Any help would be much appreciated, just trying to save some $$$ involved in getting a licence here which i dont really need!
P.s. from going through previous posts Santiago, Chile appears to be the easiest place for a foreigner to purchase a bike? Has anybody got any up to date info on bike purchases in Buenos Aires? Would suit my itinerary alot better and also have a local friend there to help facilitate the process.
Thanks once again!
Ben.
