no numbers needed
Coming in to Cartagena, Colombia by boat from Panama, we were told by the immigration/TIP fixer that tourists are not required to get numbers for or helmets or wear vests. Rode northern Colombia to Venezuela and months later entered from Ecuador and rode back to Cartagena...never a problem with police and I passed a lot of them. I did not ride in Bogota, but feel confident that you would need numbers there as a tourist.
I crossed into Ipiales, Colombia from Tulcan, Ecuador and the insurance sale person was gone for the night, so I went to Exito, the grocery store chain. Heard you can buy insurance at some gas stations...
