So you are indeed going across the border into Texas to exchange the bike for another ?
This raises the possibility of several new problems .
You do realize that a NEW TVIP for the different bike will still expire at the same date as your current ,old ,FMM .
This will bring the need sooner than later to make sure you exit Mexico and cancel both documents before the end of that shortened period .
Of course, if that is your intent it does not matter , but if you want to stay up to 180 days you would again need to renew both before they expire so as to not forfeit your TVIP Security Deposit.Another dash to the border?
If you were to cancel both the TVIP and FMM before going into Texas you would have a clean slate and a full 180 days open to you when you buy the new documents . The only extra monetary cost to you would be the new FMM.
Ease of crossing the border back intoMexico would then depend on the mood of the day .

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
