Hi Ziggy,
The rainy season gets real in November/December and BR-319 can turn into a few hundred mile mud story. Wahooo. I haven't done it, only planning/dreaming of riding that stretch of dirt. There was the French guy I met who rode BR-319 in December. He said he never dropped his bike so many times in his life... I believe I bought his next drink.
Please post your experience with French Guiana and liability insurance. It was hard to get at a reasonable price back in 2012. Check out the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiana_Space_Centre but don't go on Saturday, the museum is closed.
Get your visa for Suriname in Cayenne, French Guiana. They don't issue visas at the border.
Load up on cash in Georgetown, Guyana if you are drawing from a foreign bank. The banks in the south don't have relationships with an international bank that support ATM cash withdrawn. Oh yeah, and they drive on the other side of the road in Guayana.
Enjoy the Guyanas.
