Darien Gap - how to cross on motorcycle
 

Since the Stahlratte no longer sails does anyone have ideas on crossing with motorcycle. I understand given current geo political issues the area has become even more sketchy. I am hoping to buy bike in USA then ride down through Mexico . Any recent info as to flying or other boat options will be greatly appreciated. 56 year old Aussie with a few trips under my belt. I am also considering taking a desert X down to Patagonia. I have unlimited time...pretty deep pockets. Am I crazy? I shipped my last one to UK and took it to Iceland and all over. Sadly flogged first night in Italy after getting off ferry. The brain says take a Tenere like last trip in USA/Mexixo/Canada...but the Italian machine is an utter joy to ride and has factory heated grips!!!

Easy these days with the Overland Embassy they take care of everything. Did it this year with two bikes. Takes you 3 days.

Overland embassy.
We dropped bikes off on a Monday, flew into Bogota on Tuesday and picked up bikes on Wednesday.
My advice would be to pay for the extra service in Bogota if you are in a hurry - it took 2 fixers all day to get our bikes out, although it was around Xmas.
