Well, I'm getting ready to ride south in a few months, and I'm more concerned about Venezuela than I am about Colombia!
There've been lots of posts addressing this issue, and basic use of the search function could go a long way towards answering your questions. The prevalent tone here is pretty blasé, since those who care enough to answer questions (particularly oft-repeated questions) are themselves not easily cowed. You'll have to figure out where you fit in relation to what they tell you....but if you're in Central America now you're probably already doing whatever needs to be done to travel safely.
See you on the road, somewhere or other.
