Need Storage Ideas in Tapachula MX for Spring
Hi folks.

Well the first phase of our multi year plan went off very well (riding our bikes from Prince George, BC to Puerto Vallarta, 14 days and storing them until we return spring 2017). It was a 15/10.

Our bikes are safely stored and our TVIPs expire April 05, so we are heading back the beginning of March for another ~2 week ride around working our way south to Tapachula to store them again until we can return.

As such, we need suggestions on where to store our bikes. I know there is a Yamaha and Honda dealer there, but with zero Spanish skills, I don't know how best to contact them (have Google translate a message for me but I could not find an email address for them on google).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Take care.

Not sure if you got my PM. Tapachula online yellow pages list storage businesses. Self-storage units are becoming more common in Mexico.

Hi there M+M, thanks so much for the follow up. Funny we would "meet" like this again.

Yes I got the thanks so much, I pass that intel onto my riding buddy who has an employee that speaks fluent Spanish and has contacted a couple of bike store the Yami is out of business and the Honda fellow just said there are lots there, just come to town and find one. So hope fully she will call a few folks in the yellow pages.

I like to have things figures out in advance if possible but we'll figure something out.

So then I saw that HU has these area communities so I thought I would give it a try, and there you were :0)

Thanks again, and take care!

Hi there.

The Yami shop is out of business and the Honda shop was not that helpful (turns out they were a distributor not a place that sells to the riders), they just said to come down and find a spot when we get there as there are lots. Well we'd rather secure something in advance than leave it to the end if the trip, given our weak Spanish skillz.

Thanks for the kind Veracruz off, but we need to cancel our TViPs before storing the bikes to get iff the TVIP clock as we wont be back within the next 180 days (probably more like 270 days), and the Banjercito is not that far from Tapachula, thus the interest in storing them there.
