We then entered Bolivia with the bikes in our name. If you were to use the Desaguadero border it may complicate thing; because the aduana office is shared you may need to enter Bolivia with the bikes in your friends name. This may cause you problems when leaving, but I don't know. I have no idea how the other borders work.

Thanks for this information!
I own a moto stored in Huánuco right now and will eventually ride my Peru licensed moto south solo, with no friend. I have a goal to eventually reach "fin del mundo" at Ushuaia.
From your narration, it looks like I need someone with me, maybe a Peruvian national. Can they be a foreigner or do they have to be a Peruvian? That friend has to have the poder in their name, and also be present at the border, right?
If the friend needs to be a Peruvian national, maybe I can pay someone at my border crossing to be my friend and have a poder in their name.
I'm a little confused about this the details of steps 4 & 5. If you have time, maybe you can clarify some more. Toby may also have some information on the details of this issue, since it's important to his moto business. From either of you, I'd appreciate more information.
As a back up, I'm wondering if one can ride in to Brazil, crossing northeast of Cuzco on Peru 30, then continue in to Bolovia and avoid all these issues. It's a longer route, but I've been up Ruta 30 to short of Marcapata, and I saw quite a few motos on that road.
Why should anything be totally easy? This is adventure travel, right?
