The mails were strictly business because I did all the shipment for him. I knew what was going on at that moment but I didn't want to get into private matters.

So, my guess is that he is ok and 'alive' of course. Ida Cote is the only one capable of publishing photos . I have documentation with me but it is confidential from my side.

The problem is not a geographical triangle as you pointed out. It is a human triangle.

All the bike shops here know each other,so if he,s done any servicing or bought tyres they know about him.

I can second this. I estimate that we're in contact with 95% of all riders that pass through Colombia and those we don't see, we hear about through other riders.

So a photo and some details and I'll ask around!

Missing or hiding?
I live/ride here in Cartagena and I have not seen him. I am a little curious, if he is missing, then why has his wife/family/friends, not posted good photos and information to help us find him. If he is ok but does not want to be found, then that is another story. A little confusing. If anyone from his family needs to send out a search party, you can contact me here in Cartagena, 305 407-9218

Missing
I feel like it is important to do not go toward a fear based about South American countries and if someone is missing / or doesn't want to be find it is important to first go the ambassy way and other local autority and then ask on this kind of site . As a traveller I met many riders on the road and forgot most of thier names but a face rarely , so without even knowing what a person look like it will be almost impossible to get any serious lead about anyone. When I read post like Missing or Hidding I start to have doubt about what is happening .
Really hope for the best but not all traveller want to keep in touch with family and friends , once on the road we sometime discover that been far from all is pretty good ( sorry if that hurt)

PS: nothing personnal but I just want South America to do not catalog into very dangerous places

Alive and well
I also posted this over on ADV Rider...

John Persson is alive and well and 'living' in Colombia.

I met him yesterday and although he introduced himself as 'Phillipé' I knew it was him. Blue/White striped tank and Texas license plate on his 1150GS.

He was heading north after doing a 'visa run' to Ecuador (I met him between Cali & Popayan). He saw me and pulled over ''Because you look like you've got a story to tell'', so I told him my story and asked him his...''Oh, I'm just flleeing America'' he said.

Anyway, I think this is a personal, husband & wife thing that doesn't need to be here anymore.
