If you still have access to the bike, I am happy to suggest
ways of riding to Colombia or Peru (and entering these countries legally with your bike having not greased any Ecuadorian palms, nor saying adiós to Ecuador aduana). If it's locked away in a customs compound, then all I can do is wish you the best of luck.

I wish I still had access as Aduana has it locked away. Having lived and worked in or visited 100+ (111 actually) countries, I have learned to adjust in order to integrate. I did ask and try to pay a "fine" or multa, but was rebuffed.
Yes, there aew many stereotypes about Latinos, or any cultue but I believe the supposedly better cultures like the US are just as corrupt, just sneakier about it.
