Anybody going soon?
I need to get some parts down to my buddy there, cold cerveza if you can help out.....

Also, if anyone is interested in good single track riding down there, pm me. My next trip down should be in Feb.

I just got back from there. I was right at the weight limit of my luggage anyway 49.5 pounds out of an allowed 50.

I would love to spend a week there on my XR650L.

I think the regulator would have made it under the weight! Fly taca and they let you take 2 bags free.

Check out my youtube or FB page sometime.....

Just checked my Taca millas and it looks like I have a free ticket or two, woohoo!
First half of Feb is the plan, LAX - SJO

i'm trying to get a group of guys to maybe rent some bikes and do some riding -sounds like you know costa rica and where to ride
any good areas for single track and maybe a map ?

we would like to maybe rent a place or hotel it in one spot and ride the area for 3 or 4 days returning to a home base every nite .
i love saddle baging but some of the guys, that may go -i don't think could handle a full 3 or 4 days riding in a row.

any info would be great

So this may be a long shot, but I am headed to Costa Rica in March for a Habitat for Humanity build in Las Vueltas. The build finishes up on Sat. March 16, and I don't leave San Jose till Tues. the 19th. I was thinking about renting a bike - I have done a 10 day self-guided riding tour through MotoDiscovery several years ago, so I am familiar with the condition of the roads. I won't have gear with me for dirtbiking, but I will have boots, gloves, long pants and a jacket. Am I crazy to see if anyone would be up for playing tour guide on a day road ride? Obviously I would need to borrow/rent a helmet and bike. Suggestions?

I currently own a KTM 950 and a 525, and can give a long list of references as to my riding abilities if anyone is considering a loaner.

Pura Vida!

Oh and if anyone needs small parts transported, let me know. I travel light, carry-on only.

If I was there I'd say no problemo! Still working this day job though....

The cheapest rental is an xr250 from WildRiders, $50
The orange rental company quoted me $295 for a guided day (enduro) ride... https://www.mototourscostarica.com/D...f_Rentals.html
These guys are pretty good;

Now I need to get a new bottom and top end down there....
I found a shipping company, MariaBarquero, about $200 and 3-4 weeks door to door. Still cheaper than buying the parts down there

My next trip down is in July.
