Canadian passport, US bike, open title, headed for Mexico - problemo?

[ChristinaIsHookedOnFreedom]

Hello,

Just got referred to the site and by the looks of it this is the place to be!

I'm a Canadian rider. We have bought used bikes in the US (soooo cheap right now) and the plan was to ride them down to Mexico and back home.

On the paperwork front, the plan was to:
- get title signed over (but no time to actually register the bikes in our name, which takes 4-6 weeks and we don't want them registered in the US anyway)
- get a signed bill of sale
- hit the Mexican border with US plates registered in the former owner's name, signed and clear title, and Canadian passports.

Has anyone tried this move before or have any idea what we can do to make it more likely to actually work?


BTW, we're getting insurance for Canada & US from our home province (already sorted out).

Thanks!
Christina
