hi there
i am non south american and planning on riding south america (each country) shortly on a colombian purchased motorbike and then selling it back in colombia at the end of the trip. i have read about various 3rd party insurances etc that can likely be bought at borders etc... however, does anyone have any insight on what happens in the event of an accident and it is not practical to leave the country with the bike you came in on (in my case any country that is not colombia). e.g bike is deemed unrepairable (a write off), or the rider cant ride the bike (broken arm etc) so a situation where the bike ends the travel but i could carry on using public transport and continue with overland crossings. getting money for the written off bike not the immediate priority - priority is to continue travelling... would it be a matter of going to the local police station with passport, explaining situation and somehow getting the bike de-registered from the passport? but this may not be proof enough when actually exiting the country. i havent stated a specific country as this is more a 'may happen' scenario. anyone know a most likely process for this?
much appeciated...
