Looking for a bare-bones way to moto-tour South America
I see many people wanting to do low budget tours, but the rental fee on bikes kill all their options and if the bike is not in your name you have difficulty at borders. So they look at buying used brand name bikes or new Chinese bikes and having quite a good experience.... Except for the details of selling it at the end of the trip...
I would like to extend a hand to this group of riders.
I am an American Expat that lives in Peru and I am willing to find you a good used brand name or a decent new Chinese bike, buy it for you and paper it in your name, all before you arrive in Peru. Then (if you plan your trip in a loop), I will buy it back from you at the end of your trip, and I will prep it and pass it on to the next budget rider. Problem solved!
Why would I do this? I have been doing moto events and tours in Peru non-profit since 1982, because this is what I love. Plus I get to meet new friends.
Can you trust me? Check out all my blogs here (as charapashanperu) and ADV Rider (as charapa) and all the people I have helped. Ask them about me.
Do I know how to pick a good bike? I've been riding, racing, guiding, wrenching and teaching moto mechanics since I was a wee lad (lets just say we are closing in on 40 years in this stuff).
Cheers! Toby
