Ship or Ditch in South America?
Looking around at all the threads it seems that trying to ship a bike home after a ride down to South America from North America is a total hassle. Are people just telling their horror stories, or is it really this much of a pain? It seems like it would take all the fun out of the trip. If bike is worth less than $2500 it seems the best option is to sell it to another traveler, or just ditch it somehow. Am I just overreacting? After all those miles on the road together it seems like you'd want to bring the trusty steed home to pasture.
