Many Questions on S. America trip
I am going to search for the forum for these answers but appreciate all that reply. I am going to Ecuador with a friend this winter for surfing/diving and am considering adding a riding trip to the trip. I have ridden since I was 6, dirt bikes and sport bikes. So has he.
Looking at buying a dirt bike (in ecuador) and riding to either Brazil or just Peru. The riding trip will be to some peoples standards "ghetto", we are both in our early 20's and taking our riding trips with no more than a backpack and sleep in ditches, woods or under car ports rather than hotels. Here's my list of Q's
- How much can I expect to pay for a bike, just want reliable, don't care if its cosmetically hideous.
- Best dirt bike for the job? What cc?
- How distant are petrol/fuel stations? Carry emergency can?
- Do I need motorcycle insurance there, like how its required in USA?
- How difficult is it crossing borders? Bribes expensive?
