California --> Mexico Insurance Needs
 

I've looked through most of the posts and have a slightly different question:
My brother and I recently purchased motorcycles in California but have yet to get insurance for them due to the fact that we leave very shortly for a central America trip, do we need to show proof of Insurance at the U.S. Mexico border? i.e. Passing from the U.S. into Mexico do you need to have U.S. insurance? Do the American authorities check proof of Insurance along with Title, Registration, license, etc.?
Sorry to Bother.

Never Been Checked For Insurance!
 

I have crossed into Mexico several times at several different borders and have NEVER been checked by the American authorities for anything. On the other hand the Mexican authorities will want the usual stuff: registration (not necessarily title) with you as legal owner, license, tourist permit, and the TVIP (should have credit card for this as it is the easiest). Notice that I didn't mention insurance. I have always had it but have NEVER been asked for it! Dunno!
