there but for the grace of god
Hi People, Ive just met a couple of middle aged US motocyclistasts that have managed to get from the US/Mex border to Mazatlan without getting a touristo pass or a temporado importo pass for their motos. They want to ride to Panama then return to the US but having met me they realise what they should have done at the border. They went to the Aduana/Migration office at the port and said " Yo Estupido" and can I pay the fine etc. but to no avail, "return to your crossing point and start again and this time get it right", a round trip of lots of miles and if you get caught you will lose your moto. Mazatlan is a major touristo place but I think that they have been dealing with desk people rather than those who can decide, they have admitted their mistake are getting no real help from the local officials. ( go back to the border and start again) Anybody any ideas for getting them and their motos into Guatamala so allowing them to re-enter Mexico going through the correct procedures this time. Ride safe.
