Technically no - but the reality is that you MAY be able to convince customs. Remember, as far as they are concerned, it's just a convenient or probably fabricated excuse to get away with something.
Remember the customs officers mantra - "Tthey're all scum, and they're all trying to get away with something! I just have to find out what it is!"

It's not usually difficult to find somewhere. Contact the various HU Communities - with over 275 Communities in 67 countries worldwide, there's bound to be one nearby. Also, lots of bike shops are happy to store a bike.

hello out there,
i'd like to update / supplement information i gave above:
procedures on the semi-official border crossing between bolivia and peru along the east shore of lake titicaca have changed, as there is no more exit stamp available at puerto acosta, so you have to get it in la paz! locals say, that this is possible. on the other side (peru), formalities are only possible in puno (according to local information).
another interesting detail:
on leaving bolivia at the copacabana border we dared to leave with a long expired customs paper. even better than in argentina years before, the officials saw it but did'nt care at all! now i believe, that once you're at the border and about to leave the country, you generelly should be able to pass without too much problems (2-0 for the no problem case!).
on entry near copacabana (bolivia-peru border) there was no computer system. so leaving peru without bike was no problem at all.
good luck

Hola amigos,
I asked the Chilean Custom about, and here is the official answer:
-----------------------------
SUBDIRECCION TECNICA
DEPARTAMENTO NORMATIVO
REGIMENES ESPECIALES
GOBIERNO DE CHILE
SERVICIO NACIONAL DE ADUANAS
OFICIO ORD. Nº /
REG: 140/16245-29.09.04
F. : 1704
MAT: Importación temporal de motocicleta por ciudadanos de EE.UU.
ANT: Nota e-mail de fecha 28.09.04.
____________________________________
DE : JEFE SUBDEPARTAMENTO REGIMENES ESPECIALES
A : SR. JOSE PEDRO ESPINOSA
1. Mediante nota e-mail del antecedente, solicita información para importar temporalmente una motocicleta por turistas provenientes de Estados Unidos de Norteamérica.
2. Sobre el particular, informo a usted que la importación temporal de una motocicleta a Chile por parte de turistas extranjeros se debe hacer mediante el documento "Título de importación temporal de vehículos" (TITV), el que será proporcionado por el Servicio. Los documentos que sirven de base para la confección del título son los que a continuación se indican:
a) Pasaporte.
b) Padrón del vehículo o documento que haga sus veces.
c) Conocimiento de embarque, en caso que el vehículo llegue por vía marítima.
3. Se puede salir al extranjero dejando la motocicleta en Chile para su almacenamiento, ya sea en Aduana o en algún domicilio particular, mientras dure la admisión temporal, para lo cual deberá solicitar el trámite en la Aduana que emitió el título. No hay inconvenientes para que se pueda salir con la motocicleta al exterior una vez que se retorne al país.
4. Por otra parte, la importación de motocicletas usadas a Chile se encuentra totalmente prohibida. Al respecto el artículo 21 del Estatuto Automotriz, Ley Nº 18.483 de 28.12.85, inciso primero, dispone que sólo podrán importarse vehículos sin uso al país, los cuales para efectos de esta Ley, corresponden a aquellos que, a la fecha de aceptación a trámite de la respectiva Declaración de Importación ante el Servicio de Aduanas, correspondan a modelos del mismo año o del siguiente al de la fecha mencionada y con cero kilómetros.
Saluda atentamente a Ud.,
JSS7SGG.
01.10.04 / 302 (jpe)

I hope that is helpful.

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.
