That happend here all the time.How long is your temporary importation?
Try of course to leave the bike with intention to come back before the limit expires.......
If you are going to abandoned it try to find a good home for it.
I never heared before someone got on hold at airport because of leaving the bike......behind(sad to do).
If they ask just tell you need to pick up "repuestos" some spares....
What bike is it?

I left my bike in Argentina 2 years ago, I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. Took the money and purchased a plane ticket home, and was never questioned about the bike. That may change if I ever make it back, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!

When I flew out of BsAs, the subject of my bike never came up. If you are sure you will never go back to Arg, don't worry about it. If you do plan to go back it would be worth looking into what you have to do , to leave the bike legally.

Siggsy,
What type of bike do you have / what's wrong with it?
I know this is a totally different country, but: Years ago, when Mexico required that you provide a deposit to ensure you left with your vehicle and didn't abandon it down there, I reported it stolen with the police and then left with no problems.

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.
