Comments: 

Bike arrived on a Thursday and I met them at the customs offices Friday morning.  Customs was very slow, not much got done Friday even though Cargo Riders was working very hard to get things done.  We had to go back Saturday for over three hours.  Paperwork done but couldn't get the bike then.  We came back Monday, and the top of the ramp where my crated bike should have been was blocked with other crates.

Cargo Riders rep. finally complained to a boss, and more than three hours after arriving at the cargo area, they moved stuff out of the way and Cargo Riders tore the box down and I got the bike.

Then we went to Cargo Riders offices, I paid up, and one of the employees took me on a 15 walk to some other offices to buy my SOAT/Colombian motorcycle insurance.

Problems were with customs people and cargo employees.  Cargo Rider pushed hard to get me going.  I recommend them.
