You now get 2 month on the border into Colombia. Extensions are no problem at all as long as you extend your visa first.
You can get tourist visa extensions up to 6 month per calender year and equally extend the temporary bike import permit to match your visa.
These extensions are given month by month and only if you personally go to the customs (DIAN) in any city and show your visa (made at immigrations DAS).
Its also possible to exit the country and come back in to renew the 60 day permit twice!

If everything else fails: is it possible to leave Colombia (with bike) for Ecuador, then return 2-3 days later for a new 2 months temporary import?
(Ecuador apparently is "3 months within a 12 month period". Same in Colombia?)
With the current heavy rains in Colombia, I'm thinking about leaving the bike there for 4-6 weeks & fly home over christmas/new year, then continue my trip in January.
Thanks
