Hi friends,
I think about buying a bike in USA and ride her down to Guatemala, where I (german) live. The salesman in USA wrote: "At the time of sale, you will be issued a 30 temporary driving tag."
Well stupid me - what is a "tag" - is it a license plate?
Can I receive that although I am only a tourist?
Will it be in my name?
And most important: Can I cross borders with that 30days tag legally?
Does the dealer put the tag on the bike or do I have to visit an institution?
Does it cost me anything?
Do I have to stay on a "drive home course" or can I ride first to Alaska and then to Guate (kidding, just to understand).
Is a german passport and driving license enough or do I need to have anything else to get the tag?
Insurance?
Is that so for all US states?
I would be very thankful if someone could explain that to me.
I can fly in for 600 USD - the shipping is 1700 USD.
All together: Can a german from Guatemala buy a bike in Tennessee and ride her through Mexico just legally.
Many thanks from my wife - the bike would be for her.
Cheers
Frank
