Cost?
Did you ship it? I am curious on cost of shipping? Did you consider Georgetown? Now that Valenzuela is closed I would imagine more riders are interested in shipping moto's back from SA to CA or the US, from the east side?

So the car is in Panama and I'm very content.You cant drive the car or the bike alone in to the port in Suriname.The agent come out and take you car.The same was in Manzilo port.I have take the car out of the port but before the police and aduana check complet your car with the dog.The cost was 3401.25 USD + 295 USD some tax for shiping from Suriname.People from the company come in Panama to take me in to the hostel,drive me to Colon Mazilo port,make insurance for the car with no extra charge and wait with me until the procedure was completed.
It is company : M3 International Logistics corp. M3 International Logistics Corp. |

I don’t want to belabor the obvious, but....have you been paying attention to recent reports from Nicaragua and (to a lesser extent) Honduras?

Glad to hear it....which doesn't exactly render my question irrelevant. IMHO, it's worth paying attention to conditions on the road ahead, while bearing in mind that things sometimes change rapidly, and not always for the better.

Safe journeys!

Mark

Take a look in the «Central America and Mexico» section, its a long thread about it there. It seems to have calmed down in Nicaragua, road blocks are removed and protesters mostly off the streets - its reported.
