bolivian motorcycle registration
hello all,
i have been told that it is un-necessary to have registration or papers for a motorcycle over 30 years old in bolivia. does anyone know if this is true or have any informaion on the legalities of a foreigner riding a motorcycle in bolivia.
im an australian in sucre and have been offered a 77 jawa 350 for 500 US. i know the previous owner rode it without rego or papers, though didn't get pulled up. the bloke who is selling it for him (a sucre local) seems certain that i am legal to simply get on and ride, due to it's age. he seems very trustworthy and is a good friend of a friend, so i am inclined to believe him.
plan is to buy it and just point it around bolivia for 1-2 months or until it breaks down. i do not expect to take it across borders, though if anyone knows an easy way to make this legally posible i would pursue this option. any other advice or info on traveling bolivia on a bike would be greatly appreciated. cheers, harry.
