Thanks Tony, that looks helpful. Would it be possible to PM me the rest of it as well? (removing anything identifying or sensitive, of course). Or is there nothing else important in it?

xfiltrate - bike's registered in the US, he entered Uruguay on a tvip there. You've posted on another of my threads about the tvip, just looking for info on the wording of the carta here. I'll read through the mercosur stuff as well.

As the inventor of the Boludometro - a hand held device that measures the quantity of Boludo in a person, place or event, relying on data provided by satellites orbiting the earth - on a scale of 1 - 5, a device that I exhibited at one of the HUBB meets in *Viedma, Argentina, I can assure you that the MERCOSUR regulations I have provided are less restrictive rgarding the trans national transport of US registered bikes between Mercosur countries than they potentially could be for the transport of locally (MERCOSUR) purchased bikes.

*And, I have regretted ever since.....

The boludometro can also measure the beauty of a woman same 1 - 5 scale ..... haveing very little to do with physical attributes _a feature that has assisted my social life 10X.

You may be able to exit and enter MERCOSUR countries if the original owner assists with exit. This means you ride pillion - he/she exits the bike
and you , using your power of attorney - with appropriate legal insurance enter with a TVIP the next MERCOSUR country. There are strict regulations regarding the sale of "foreign" bikes in MERCOSUR countries , but a POA does seem to work if worded correctly and notarized by appropriate authority.

On a scale of 1 - 5 my boludometro indicates that your venture will be relatively free of problems, if you adhere to all legalities.

xfiltrate legal inventor of the boludometro, trademark registered in Argentina and in other places within ours and the next galaxy.
