Hey All,

After travelling on my KLR650 for a year around South America, without a single document incident, I have just returned from taking my bike to Uruguay to renew the temp. permit for Argentina, and was refused entry back into Argentina because my insurance had expired.

This was an honest oversight of mine, so I returned to Paysandu (Colon) but could not buy the insurance there. My only option was to doctor my insurance document and return the 120k's to Salto (Concordia) and try again. Again I was asked for my 'seguros'. They accepted my 'doctored' document and allowed me to enter Argentina.

100k's down ruta 14, the boys in blue pulled me over and also asked for my insurance - and 1800 pesos for speeding! Yeah right. He also accepted the insurance document, and after learning I had no money, accepted a payment of 130 pesos for dirty number plate - joke!

So be warned, there may be a blitz going on for insurance - which can be bought easily anywhere in Argentina - dont' forget to renew your policy like I did - it's pretty un-nerving to present forged documents to the aduana, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. anything to keep the ride going.

Buena Suerte todos!

Ride On
