Colombian plated bike
I'm headed back to Colombia in August. I have a Colombian plated bike that is registered to me in Medellin. And there any border issues to encounter on a ride south?
Thanks

"...on a ride south" - from North/Central America south to Colombia, or from Colombia southbound (i.e, are you on your way south to Colombia, or asking about going south from Colombia)?
I see that (at least on their website) the "Certificado de antecedentes penales" from your country of residence is still required. Apparently (haven't done this recently) one can get a "transit" s tamp giving 10 days (I think) to cross the country without the Certificado; also apparently it's possible to get an exception and Finca Sommerwind can help with this.
Otherwise no issues of which I'm aware. You'll presumably be familiar with the rigorous application of agricultural protection rules entering Chile.

Ecuador
2022-23 spent 3 months in Ecuador. 12000 km on my f700. the funny thing is that I crossed from Colombia to Ecuador > Puente SanMiguel I stamped out of Colombia and Stamped into Ecuador literally 15 feet away from the Migration Colombia Wow what a treat , no lines and pleasent officials , The lady at Migration looked at me and said you were previously in Ecuador in march 2022. I said your correct I was a Tramite, Passing thru on a private aircraft A Turbo DC3, we spent 1 night in Guayaquil.
So now im stamped into Ecuador and away I go on the bike, I didn't even think for one second that I may need a TIP I just started to explore. and eventually returned to Colombia 2023. I left my bike in Guayaquil at a parking garage near the airport in Guayaquil early 2023 because I was going back to work in the Middle East and returned in April to pick up the bike
All being said I wondered if I needed a TIP. for a Colombian plated bike owned by a foreigner with a residence visa Colombian.I have asked a few Colombians about this matter and they said just go you dont need a TIP. and I dont see any reason you should. I never was asked for anything-license -insurance Nothing
It was like going from Canada to USA in a vehicle

You may have been fortunate (or there is indeed no TIP requirement). Had you continued to Perú you might have run into a problem. We entered Ecuador (in our Colombian vehicle) and owing to ignorance simply continued without getting our CdP stamped (or getting a TIP). We ran into a police checkpoint (fortunately shortly after the border) and were told that we'd have to go back to Customs. We did so, got our CdP stamped, and then travelled around Ecuador, getting our CdP "stamped out" on leaving into Perú.
WANDRR - My suggestion is to stop at Customs when you enter Ecuador and get a TIP (unless you use a CdP, in which case get it stamped out of Colombia and into Ecuador).

borders
I am planing a trip to Peru in august and im glad to hear you can get a 10 days grace for transiting thru Ecuador im happy for this because I dont want to spend anytime in Ecuador. the gringo buck is like getting ripped off every day for a CND dollar earner
I am aware of the tip for Peru
I will do the crossing in San Miguel again No tip and back road it to Peru
my previous 3 months traveling Ecuador and not once did I go thru a police check point. I was on the coast a lot from San Lorenzo to Playas. great fishing. the mountains are pretty much like Colombia. Pretty and very Green
this tour to Peru is going to be a repeat of when I was backpacking in 1980-81 this time ill get around without public transportation wow 43 years later on a bike
I spent a year in Peru in Peru 80-81. I learned to surf and
I miss the Ceviche Pilsen Callao/ Garza Rial.
the funny thing is that I have flown from Guayaquil to Arica Chile North south- and south north many times and see the entire Peruvian coast at 10 thousand feet above sea level Spectacular Geography / Topography Now its time to do it on the ground again forty years later

A few days ago Ecuador lifted the requirement for "antecedentes penales" - good news!
Safe travels!
