Hi Moisheh thank you for the feedback we are super newbs at this sort of thing, having only ridden in MX for the first time in spring of 2015 as a 50th birthday gift for myself (down the Baja then over to the mainland and back to Canada). We spent about 22 days in MX.
We are looking for a way (if there is one) of leaving our bikes stored in MX, then flying home, then coming back, riding for a couple more weeks, flying home, and repeating.
The initial plan was to get to the GT border as fast as possible and then ride around GT and store the bikes at a buddies hostel. But it turns out that GT's TVIP lasts only 90 days (you can get a 90 day extension but you have to go in person to GT City to do it), so we decided to spend more time in MX, especially after I found out the number of amazing roads there are in MX via looking at Google Maps and comparing the roads to my small scale Roji map book.
As such we now want to spend the next ~4-5 trips riding all the great roads in MX, then check out BZ and then go into GT.
So our first leg was from Prince George to Puerto Vallarta. I found storage by posting a question on the ADV Rider web forum. A fellow who rents motorcycles and does ride trip in PV wrote back saying he had a friend from Seattle who retired in PV and he had a garage where he could store out 3 bikes for the ~6 months for $100US/month.
Finding storage for the next leg of the trip has been more difficult as I've not been able to find any fellow riders or expats living in Tapachula where we were thinking of storing the bikes.
Luckily a fellow on ADV Rider from GT saw my post and had a British riding buddy who stored his bike in Comitan. So we located the fellow and he's offered to store our bikes for the the next leg of the trip.
Our riding buddy has stored his bike at the Harley shop in Cabo San Lucas before as well.
