Please do a search, there's loads of info.

Basically:
1. Get a RUT number.
2. Make a deal on a bike.
3. Go to a notario to draw up the sale documents (power of attorney).
4. The title will be sent to a specified address in about 4 weeks.

It looks easy...

Hi,

Step 1 - the RUT Number

we got it yesterday, at the SII, Servicios Impuestos Internos

You only need your Passport, a copy of it, and any address... we used the Hotel address. We got the RUT Number in 10 minutes - for free!
Later they can send the official card somewhere or you pick it up, it takes at least a month to make it... but you don´t need it, because your number is already valid!

Step 2

We bought a bike, new - Honda CGL 125

Step 3

The guy offered to do all the paperwork for less than 20 bucks, not bad - or?

Now we are waiting... maybe we get the bike today...

later more...

See you - Jens

And the little Honda goes like a dream! We've hit the 1,000 km mark (ready for first service within 3 days - rather than the recommended 30!), we can now go faster than 70 kph! Wahoo! We've already met many friends and been chased by countless dogs along the way!

I wouldn't be on this adventure without the help of people like Jens, Motos Cordero and everybody who has posted comments to our request! Thank you all (and in case you didn't notice - there's one very happy lady buzzing around the North of Chile!)!!! :-D

Keep the rubber side down!
Julie

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
