Yes, we are serious.
Hola Danny,
yes, we are serious. Enjoy your trip up North, but as far as I know all other countries on your route still have the TIP system.
Maybe see you here in Bolivia.
Saludos

Well, this theory is yet to be tested so I wouldn't rely on these assurances too much. One thing to drive into Brazil, leave the vehicle behind and fly home again as a few people have done recently, but it is not proven that 10 out of 10 of these people will be able to return and drive out without problems.
I hope it is true but ....

Thanks again and see you in Bolivia.

One more question...
Sorry Guys
Here l am getting excited thinking l can fly from the UK to Sao Paulo, collect my motorbike and ride across the Argentinian Border...
I just recognised that my USA Certificate of Title expired February 2012 - 2years ago!!
This would need renewing in the USA right? Or, as long as the title matches the bike engine, chssi numbers - l can still ride through central and south america countries as the Title is only valid in the USA?
Apologies - what a bugger - any thoughts would be appreciated...
I would potentially ride from Sao Paulo into Argentina an south to Ushuaia. The head north through Chile and across Bolivia and head out for the East coast of Brazil towards french guiana, suriname and into Venezuela where l would try and ship the bike to Cuba and into Florida and then ride across the USA.
Once in the USA - l can register ...
Any last ditch thoughts would be appreciated...
Thanks
Danny.

Registration card?
I didn't know a title of ownership expires. I believe you mean the "registration" expired, an item that needs to be renewed annually. You will want to renew your registration, because that will be the only US document that has the license plate number on it. Your name and the license plate number on registration links to the title of ownership, proving you own the bike with that license plate...
Depending on the state in the US, you might have some challenges renewing the registration by mail. Check to see if the registration can be renewed online. My state has this service. Chance are you'll need a local address to have the card mailed, but I assume you know someone in the US.

Registration.
Thanks and Yes thats correct - the certificate of title has an annual expiration date on the registration and needs to be renewed.
- The bikes in Sao Paulo, brazil.
- The State where registration needs to be completed is California.
- I am based in the UK - so will check online
Then have it sent to a US address and mailed to the UK before l depart to Brazil. Seems best way?
You agree..??
