I've been searching and can't quite find the info I'm looking for. Anybody ever done this???

ever seen how they drive on most of the islands? pretty sure you'd be safer riding there in south florida traffic.

that said, i don't think registration would an issue (especially in the u.s. virgins) so much as making sure your insurance would cover you.

We'll be all over the place, not just US islands. I keep seeing shit about having to pay duties in certain areas but I can't find any specifics???

Just kicking the idea around right now. But it'd be pretty cool to strap a little 250 dual sport on the flybridge and have wheels everywhere we stop.

i really wouldn't worry about the registration as long as it's legal here. traffic enforcement is basically non existant on all of the islands i've been to (~15 of them). i've seen a few cars with tags from the states too. call up the insurance company of your choice, and see what they say about covering stuff out of the country.

i doubt some of them even have insurance requirements, but i wouldn't take the chance being without it with the way they drive down there. it's a free for all. fun as hell in a car, but i wouldn't want to be on a bike. especially in/around the towns/cities.

Registration and insurance seem to be not much of a problem. It's the duties and clearing the vehicle through customs I can't find info on.

Like you said, I doubt I would enjoy riding in the more crowded areas. But we're going to be hitting some of the more remote and sparsely populated areas where a bike would be a f'n blast. I wonder if I could fit a little Samurai up on the bridge.
