Hi guys, gals
Im settling down here in Perú and now that that is done, we´re gonna buy two new bikes a 650GS for the mrs and a dakar for me. Only problem is..theres no BMW motorrad in Peru, so: We have to
A) Buy bikes in Europe remotely and ship em over here or
B) Buy bikes in Chile or Argentina and ride them back.
We prefer dirt roads, but hey crossing South America is mostly dirt and what we have in mind so that should be cool. Another possible advantage is we will pay less duty on 2nd hand bikes when we come into Perú.
Any advice as to how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Oh ja, I meant to add, I have a set of aftermarket panniers, crash bars etc. from my bike in Ghana (we sold the bike). We will prolly purchase panniers and stuff for the other bike and ship them out here too, and add them on before the trip.
Once we are back in Lima, the plan is to do long weekend trip and holiday on bikes to surrounding countryside and countries. Should be able to build up some great reports.
Cheers.
