I should be ok for Mexico and beyond. Rego was an interesting one. As an Australian I can't register a bike (or get a US license) having only a tourist visa. It is only possible with an I-94 stamp or certificate added to your passport on arrival into the US. This indicates you're here to work or study). But I've gotten around this with the generous help and trust of a the guy in Colorado i bought the bike from. We've added my name to the title and registration so that we are co-owners and I paid for a year's rego ($185 and 1 month's insurance ($25). I was advised that crossing into Mexico and beyond is not possible if there are 2 names on a title. So I now have a Notorized Letter of Agreement signed by us both and witnessed and stamped by a Notary Public where the co-owner/generous seller/friend has given permission for me to ride 'our' bike out of the US. A longwinded answer, but useful info for those looking the for elusive hole in the red tape fence. The 23rd may be the date now that I head from texas into Mexico. Tho I'm open to invites to take a similar date. Email zanebeck@gmail.com Ph (1)323 448 7955 |
Aussie - KLR Crossing to Mexico 15th / 16th Oct
Hi
I arrive in LA on the 13th Oct. Hope to start heading down through Mexico a few days later. I want to have a look at Copper Canyon but have no fixed plans. Cheers Ben |

I've been down twice...never made it to Ushuaia though..almost.
I'm in Santa Fe and maybe can sort a place to camp for a day or two for you. I'm planning a Mexico trip maybe to Guatemala in December for 2-3 months...who knows might even try to break my own record for not succeeding :-) and go all the way Honda Transalp = yea finally a decent bike James der Zigeuner |
Hi there, i'm an Aussie heading the other way, currently in Mazatlan looking to take the ferry to Baja and go north.
Have been touring Mexico for the past couple of weeks. The place takes some getting used to but there are some great roads and spectacular scenery. Be prepared for very hot weather though, here on the coast it is 33+ and humid. The traffic can look scary in the towns but actually it all works, just don't let yourself get pushed around. And watch out for the potholes and topes. Good luck and keep the rubber side down. |

I also hoping to pick up a bike in the U.S and head south. Your post was the first that I had read that mentioned that an Australian citizen had to have a study/work Visa to register a bike. Are you 100% on that because I thought they would take any address to register and would accept your Aussie license and not ask for your passport. I Had also been told I could register a bike through a proxy from outside the country which would obviously preclude me from needing a working/study Visa. Anyway Im confused now. If you could clarify that 100% would appreciate it. cheers |
