Went to Lima with little to no experience on bikes and after a few days looking bought a 'Davest xtreme 250 gy-2' one of these... Motos DAVEST - Pantera Motos del Peru - motos scooters - recambios motos - accesorios motos - moto ocasion - motos 125 - comprar motos - motos bmw - motos cbr. The dealer who is the importer spoke a bit of english which was great as my spanish isn't very good yet. I got a 'permiso especial para firmar contratos' which I saw was needed from a thread on ADV and he sorted the ownership card and number plate. My girlfriend and I went to Cusco to go hiking and ruins visting for about 2 weeks until he let me know it was ready. Another 22 hour bus ride back to Lima then time to pick up the bike and get insurance which was incredibly easy and fast. Having all this sorted I spent a couple of days learning to ride around Lima which was fun, only stalled at the lights a couple of times...

By now we've about had enough of the city so after looking into getting pannier racks made up I decided i could just make one out of wood. It seems to be holding up well after 600km. We find our way out of Lima and head north without much of plan and after a night by the ruins in Caral we head to Huaraz, where we are now. The bikes not doing so good it seems to have developed a timing chain rattle, so I email the dealer and he has assured me he'll have it fixed by a dealer in Trujillo. Didn't expect much from a China bike but hopefully we'll get a few more Kms out of her.





Don't have much of a plan but we're thinking of heading nnorth through Equador, Colombia, Venezuala and down through Brazil. This depending on how well the money and the bike lasts...
