Broken rear shock in Medellin! Help/advice needed
Hey guys,
We are stranded in Medellin, Colombia on our klr650. Rear shock is dead...
We are trying to order a new Progressive Suspension 465 in the USA. We have found a shop with a good price and USPS shipping.
BUT
We read that USPS in Colombia uses the local post service and we have read worrying things. Shipments take up to two months sometimes or get stolen...
So we're very hesitant about using USPS.
We found out that there are private companies that do shipping from America to Colombia which seem a lot more reliable. We are still waiting for a price and time quote on that.
Another option is finding someone who will be flying from America to Colombia (preferably Medellin, but not that important) who would be willing to take the shock with them. We are willing to pay ofcourse! If anyone is flying the next week or so, or knows someone... Please let us know!
Do you guys have more ideas, information, advice? This is our first time in Latin America, bought the bike 2 weeks ago so we're still figuring everything out.
Thanks,
Wout and Jasmijn
