I broke down and I am buying the 650. I pick it up Nov 15. They are telling me it takes 15 days to register it. Is that true? If your dealer does it for you, then it can take 15 days. But if you go yourself to el notaria and then to el registro publico, then it may go quicker if they are not busy. ...

I am out of my home in Peru for about 7 months a year. I would suggest a guard. What I like best about having a guard is that it gives him a chance to make some money have a place to live with cable and internet, and work and go to school. It contributes to the community in so many ways. I hire work...

Reading the changes, I think I would make most of those changes in the United States too. Inequity seems all over the world. I have never felt any more in danger in Peru than I have in the US. You have to be aware where ever your are, but not much into vests or such. What I would change about Peru w...

Well we are into our 25th year. It works most of the time. It's a relationship and takes work regardless of culture. I had a few challenges with in-laws but I an not too sure that is limited to intercultural relationships. That also sometimes takes work and understanding. The gift of Peru is preciou...

I have been looking for a dual purpose motorcycle for a few years and last year began looking at the Chinese bikes. I chickened out of the Chinese on the advice of friends in and out of Peru. I want to do some serious (fun) traveling all over Peru. I don't want to be in Kuelap or in the Andes in Sab...

they have an incredible website! I forgot to mention that the guy who went to IHOP thought it was very good. I was driving from Key West to Miami and I happened to say, that I wish I could find an IHop and I swear the next turn there it ways. I have never seens such a flaiming gay staff in my life ...

It kills me that I will be paying almost 3000 dollars more for a xr 650 l honda dual purpose motorcycle in Nov. I have been offered a 400cc Honda Falcon but I can' t find anyone who knows about the Falcon. I have seen some U-Tube stuff but have not heard or talked to anyone who has one. Does anyone ...

I am buying a motorcycle this Nov. and this trip will be my 1st with the bike from San Bartolo to Cusco on route 3. This is great information.

Thank you

Like I think most people in Peru are more than wonderful. The food is amazing. Geography changes in hours. I like the beer :D . Love San Bartolo, my home and the ocean. I actually enjoy driving and the fact when I tell people in US I have a bluebird they dont know what it is. I see a future for Peru...

I will be returning to Peru and November and I want a dual purpose motorcycle. I will want at least 250cc and I would be open to something larger. If you want to sell a bike ASAP my guard will look at it and if it meets what I want I will arrange payment. If you haven't a bike but ideas where I migh...

My Kindle has 300+ books and counting and is one of the best purchases I have made. I use it both in US and Peru and the two dictionaries are invaluable in both countries. I bought my wife a newer one this year and she feels the same.

Just a follow-up, I went to my dentist here in the US, KY, Louisville for my usual cleaning and exam. The dentist who was up to 35,000 before I decided to have the work in Peru did not say much but the tech who cleaned my teeth was in a clinic who did implants and she said the work I had done would ...

My friends are too kind and I have been to lazy. Wanting to speak Spanish for me was a poor excuse for learning. I find the time with Rosetta Stone is the best thing for me. There is also a six month period where I can contact other students and tutors at and about my level via Rosetta Stone to prac...

I have had classes both in Peru and in KY to learn Spanish with little success. I know that it's me not the teachers. Recently I got the complete set of Rosetta Stone and so far I have to say it's teaching me. I do a good deal of review but I think I am learning. It is a bit pricely unless you add u...

Jim I completely agree. The challenge is what rights do people have? There is right and wrong but that doesn't get you a thing unlesss there is some respect for right and wrong. I dont think anyone at Telefonica has a clue. Jim, I suggest you PM Americorps, because he has successfully taken on telep...

sanbartoloian

Telefonica is a nightmare... if they aren't paid to lie, they should go on strike because they do it so well. I had Telefonica wars this past summer and it took weeks to work it out.

If you think Peruvian soft however, you need to get out more.

Gary your "two cents" is invaluable to me. I think that I will just take your lead and buy a bike when I get back to Peru. Thanks so much and you have my sympathy for the stuff you have been dealing with trying to get the bike. Importing a vehicle to Peru, I've got to add my two cents wort...

I am always tempted to bring a Harley to Peru. I spend 5-6 months, the summer of Peru in Peru. I realize that I'd be dragging my fatboy thru every bump and hole in San Bartolo and beyond. This coming summer I am getting a dual pupose. I have looked at importing a bike from US but doesn't really make...

I am looking for dual purpose motocycle. I would like a 250cc or above. I don't care so much about cosmetics but want it in good mechanical condition. Any bike I buy would have to be looked at by my mechanic before purchase. Please contact me if you have a bike.

If I am ever going to pay a bribe to the police I would wish it would be a motorcycle police woman. Those pants and great high black boots. They are hot. I am never sure, but I think they might pull you over and spank you. "If" you have been bad!!!

is there any disadvantages to registering one in Peru, ( even if you spend all your time here) or should you register it U$?Thanks Who is kindle?

I miss Peru. I have been back a few days and yesterday I went to Krogers for milk, oj, and I thought I might get some shredded wheat. I have no idea how long that I wanderd around the store lookng at everything, buying not much. I was in the car so driving home I resisted blowing the horn at the wom...

Great idea. I started organising it. Booked the arena, put up bunting, got the beers and ice cream in, but darn it(good old American phrase) somebody stole the horses. I only turned my back for one minute and they vanished. There was a policeman in a posh uniform and MC90 standing guard. Perhaps we...

This is the hardest time for me in Peru because it's time to leave until next year. I have read about escaping to Peru and it makes me furious. Peru is not such a thing. My love affair with Peru is not about escape. It is about being. Reading the question how to entertain guests the other day made m...

Peeps were usually the last to go as I ate the things in my basket. I have to say there isn't anything that matches the taste and tesxture of stale post Easter peep!

A former manager gave a great piece of advice. We had just started working together and she had a excellent reputation and was tough. I did conferences and workshops for her and everything I did I got evaluations from all participants. Up to that time I had never had a negative one and when it came ...

The web site of facebook has the boxing running from 5am to 8am, interesting but not true. The poster in the paper list no time, probably true.

Having survived 8 years of George W Bush I more than feel your pain and seeing Obama struggle to do the right thing is still a frustrating exercise.

My wife and I have never paid a bribe. One thing I do is on ocassion is I eat at a restaurent that serves the police dinner most nights. About once or twice a year I buy everyone one dinner.
