Exactly, that's correct!

Hey, yes I am! I'll be there then and always interested in meeting a new riding partner! Write me again when you're here and we'll connect!

I'm 39, and sometimes I feel like 59, and you might feel like 39 :)

I'm not a bike pro o specialist, but I know that any Honda and similarly popular brand you'll be able to find parts for it anywhere in South America, as well as people everywhere who can fix it. As a general rule of thumb, the simpler (not much electronics), the better!

I hope not! :-D

I bought the Honda XRE 300 ABS. Not too big and not too small to navigate through the country side and the cities

about a week :-D I haven't ridden a moto since I was 16, but to me it's not really much different than riding a bike. Unless you drop it of course, then you need to know how to lift it up again hehe

Hey Alejo! My back was fine again luckily after 2 weeks, and I tried to fly the bike to Panama, which wasn't possible at the time, and due to Covid the land borders were pretty complicated, so I did some traveling to Argentina and Brazil without the bike, and now I enjoy taking it on shorter trips within Colombia. Maybe some day I'll ride it down South to Chile and Argentina. Will definitely be posted on this channel ;)

I'm glad to see that you're back on the bike! Colombia looks AMAZING!!! As much as I enjoy the riding aspect of traveling I also enjoy having a look around at Colombia. Maybe in future videos, if you have both the time and inclination, a look around from viewpoints and maybe a bit of narration and explanation of where you are and what you're looking at would be great. The countryside and small towns are amazing and beautiful, and to be absolutely honest, I've used your videos in an effort to convince my partner that we should go for a month. Maybe Colombia, maybe Mexico or Guatemala, but just go! Also, I'm glad you're wearing more gear AND! It looks like you've gained quite a bit more riding experience! And please please please!!! Keep posting!!!

@@MrKobayashi here its easy to travel by bike, good roads and landscapes, cheap and good food and bikes don't pay tolls

@@heropill I'm already looking at plane tickets in October for a month! I've put 2 round trips on hold with Copa Airlines and I'm looking for where I can buy a MC for reasonable cost, that has good spares support and also for gear/helmet rather than bringing my gear on the airplane $150usd each way, so 300$usd to bring my own gear plus 300 more for my partner's gear. We'd like to travel to as many places as possible, with low cost stays, maybe some tent camping, which we both love to do, etc. I need to sort out daily budget costs for food, fuel, lodging, camping, motorcycle purchase, license and insurance, etc. I can see Colombia being a place we could return to several times a year so finding a secure place to store bike and gear and things would also be an advantage. So far it looks like Bogota is the least expensive to fly in to from Los Angeles. Although we are closer to Seattle, the airfares from Seattle are several hundred dollars per person higher. In any case, everything about Colombia looks amazing. I really want to go!!!

@@MrKobayashi i travel a lot on my bike here, i recommend you finding a good deal on a used bike (here you can pay a good company for a technical revision, bogota is our capital city so its more expensive, talk to me on private and i can help you with your itinerary gladly

Wow that's fantastic! Where will you ride?

I bought it here in Medellín

Hi Ricardo! I stopped the project due to complications with Customs getting the bike out of the country. But yes, Colombia is an incredible country for motorbiking. I still have the bike and am currently in Medellin. I might take it for a tour again one day soon!

Hi Alejo, I'm great, thanks. The project is on hold for the moment, but maybe someday I'll hit the road again 🙂

@@daveontheroad4190 good! im in medellin colombia if need something let me know!

Thanks, Tae Jun. Yes, without that farmer who knows what would have happened! I drove to Bogotá shortly after that and tried to fly to Panama with the bike, and ride up to Mexico from there, but Colombian Customs didn't let me fly the bike out of the country for more than 6 months without returning back, since I'd bought the bike in Colombia and am not Colombian myself. I spent 5 days discussing with Customs, Police, and Tax Office, but it didn't help. These rules apply for Air and Sea travel, so I could have driven the bike down South, but the land borders to Peru were completely closed at the time, and there was no way through. I still have the bike in Colombia and am currently in Medellin, but the project is on hold for the moment :-)

Hey Tae Jun, thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it! I'm excited that I could reach someone with the video and encourage them as well to do it. Which cities did you do, and how did your trip go?

Hehe I positioned myself right to lift the bike, but my back was curved instead of straight, and I used my arms to lift the bike instead of my legs. So Crack Crack! 😀

Actually I just test rode the new Aprilia Taureg and for fun tried to lift it. At 208kg I couldn't lift it that way but could deadlift it

Hi M VS, thanks for your comment. Yes, I stopped the ride for now (see my comment above to Tae Jun), but maybe someday I'll start it again! Are you a "biker", too?

@@daveontheroad4190 Hey Dave good to hear your okay, yeah I'm doing something similar I'm in Popayan now drove my Himalayan down from Medellin about cross the border to Ecuador.

I have a channel called FreedomRiding where I'm documenting it, but it's mostly just raw footage. No real storylines or anything.
