The orange tag is the shipping label and the slip I'm holding is the Air Way Bill for shipping the bike from PTY to BOG. $902 cash and it'll fly tomorrow. They put it on a pallet so I didn't have to remove the windscreen or mirrors. Could also leave the fully loaded panniers and Roto-Pax fuel containers (empty) on the bike. Made things pretty easy. Couldn't half the half court of oil in the panniers so will donate it to Panama Passage (the place we're staying.)
Tomorrow is a day in which we don't have to do anything. Just relax knowing the bikes are in their way.
At the Girag facility I saw this stuff and asked about it. Its clothes and tires being shipped to Cuba.
Motorcycles and scooters ate everywhere in this psrt of the world. We see several accidents a day. Fortunately traffic is so bad that nobody is moving very fast so the motorcyclist isn't usually badly injured. They do wear helmets, unlike many in the U.S. Have yet to see or hear a Harley since leaving the U.S. However, the T-shirt shops at the mall sell Harley-Davidson T-shirts. I doubt H-D has approved.
The 'new' bike in the picture belongs to a French couple that arrived at Panama Passage Sunday. They flew their BMW GS from France to Montreal, rode to Anchorage and are now heading to Ushuaia.
