Hey guys. The aduana in Salta was no help....one guy told me to go to another office and they would be able to check with the guys at Paso de Jama....exactly what I DONT want!
I was able to get my moto inured very cheaply, for here and Chile so at least Ill have some paper related to my bike that is legit at a police stop. Incidentally, I rode with a passenger on the back of the bike and she had no helmet. There were 2 police checkpoints between Salta and Cafayate and the no helmet thing was definitely an issue, but nothing else. We were able to work our way around the checkpoints, but definitely not a great way to travel....
Another unrelated question.....is bike maintenance in a shop in Argentina much more expensive than in Peru, Bolivia, etc?.....Thanks the vibe aIM getting but IM not sure if its because Im a gringo.
Anyway, always open to any advice or suggestions about my situation. Ill head to Mendoza and hopefully be there in 2.5 days and then Ill take a bus to Santiago for work, and deal with the legal stuff when I arrive back to Mendoza a week later.
