Leaving a bike in South Amerika for a while

I need to leave my bike in South America for a while.
I have been told that Uruguay give you a 12 months stay for the bike, correct ?
Anyone knows a good place to leave the bike in Uruguay ?

Another other information will be most helpful.

I'm in BA in Argentina right now and will be here in until end of January

I know Dakar Motos is a good place in Argentina to leave your bike, but the 6 months stay is properly not quite long enough for me

Cheers
kim

leaving bike in South America

I left a motorcycle in Santiago Chile for several months. What I had to do was sign the bike over to someone else and get paperwork done giving the bike to another person that was living in Santiago so they took it out of my passport. I could then leave. When I returned I took him back to the airport customs office and he signed it back over to me. Did not take long at all. I did not know the guy as it was just a guy working at the hotel. I had been to customs office and they told me I needed to do that. Customs told me to find someone that I could sign the motorcycle over to to get it out of my name and passport. Customs told me he would not be able to sell it as he did not have title to it. I left the motorcycle at the hotel in the parking lot and flew home for 2 months. I think I can get you a name if you need it.

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.
