SA trip
In spring 2011 me and four or five friends are flying to Ecuador to stay for a month to rent a house and surf. After that month is over they're flying home with exception of my friend Adam.
Me and Adam then want to buy motorcycles/dirt bikes and travel through S.A. on the bikes. Were both 21 years old and plan on doing this differently than most people with the newer nice bikes and multiple luggage cases mounted on the bikes.
We've both rode bikes for our whole lives, motoX and crotch rockets so our riding ability is quite high. Luggage wise we will only need like two bags, a backpack and a bag, bungee corded to the bike. Were great at packing incredibly light, we want to stay very mobile.
I have some direct questions listed below, but really any tips/links are appreciated!! I will also cruise through the forum for info. Thanks, Paul.
What can I expect to pay for a reliable bike?
Does it have to be street legal or is a dirt bike OK?
How hard is it to buy a bike in SA? I'm an American citizen.
Can I sell it after my trip ends?
Cities/spots you think are very fun or must see?
How should I carry my cash? (keep from being stolen)
