Cargorider and Veronica helped me get my bike out of customs several years ago. Veronica also got me a hotel close to their office where I stayed for several weeks while waiting for my bike to arrive. She was very helpful!
Another adventure about to start. You will have to organise a new shock before this one collapses guys, that would really spoil your day. I cannot see it lasting until you reach the US. Wishing you both safe travels.
I agree, I think it's not reasonable to wait until they reach USA. It can become dangerous at one point, especially with all the load and 2 people. The bike could be hard to control in some corners, I always fear for them, and I'm always waiting they find a solution when watching the episodes.
What happens when it collapses? You mean the spring breaking? I think we are only on the spring now because there is no oil in the shock anymore 😅 We are looking into the options but shocks are very expensive so repairing is our first priority
@LaviandOllie I don't think there is a risk the spring will break. Nevertheless, riding with this shock without oil can be dangerous with all the load, and you are two people. It can be difficult to control the bike in some conditions like a tight corner with bad road conditions you dont anticipate, and the bike can be bouncing and then could lead to the handle bar wobbling. It can happen so fast that you will nearly have no time to react. Imagine the consequences. Yes, it's not cheap, but it's a matter of safety, don't play with your life, it's not a bicycle. I have followed you for a while, and I'm really concerned about this issue. Tyres, shock, chain & sprockets, break pads, spark plugs are also consumables with different lasting life 😉. When you will do a big maintenance on your bike (maybe half way), think about changing the front fork oil and the brake fluid, ask also for a battery check, you rode in tropical countries and the batteries have short life under those climate. Here in Thailand where I live, the batteries don't last more than 2 years. Take care, guys and all the best.
I'm glad to see everything went smoothly for you. Please guy's for your own safety, get the rear shock replaced asap. It's had a huge load to bare all this time and a lot of rough roads to handle thus far and has done a splendid job but the leakage definitely means it's had its day. I've seen the painful consequences that have occurred when a rear shock goes out completely. Take care.
Excellent video! Fantastik that you showed us the overview logistic process of getting a motorcycle shipped over the Darien Gap. Your video makes it a little less scary for people that might be thinking about it. Danke! Thanks!...Hasta Luego! Bis dann! Cheerio! See Ya soon!
Yes we thought that most people didn't know how easy it could be now that these companies have started up 😁🙏 Good for people to know that it's not only a jungle trek or a dodgy boat ride anymore! Thanks for watching!
Carlos Freire - Brasil - Hello couple WOW! Damn, I was thrilled with you guys finishing South America. I've been following you since Rio de Janeiro and it's been quite a journey, it's like I'm traveling with you. I feel cold with you, I feel warmth, joy, fear... everything. Congratulations on completing this milestone. Let's go ahead.
Yes it's been a long and crazy journey so far and we're not even half way round yet 😅 Lots of warm and cold to come we're sure 🤪 Thanks so much for following the adventure 😁🙏
You've got me hooked and look forward to seeing what you're up to. Really like the history of the areas that you travel to. Query....do you have a running total of expenses? You mention some but I'm sure there is more. It would be a good reference for whomever is thinking about doing something like this. Maybe a segment could be done comparing planning costs versus actual costs. Just an idea.
Yes we’ll do a cost report after one year on the trip and than after the trip is over! So one is coming soon 🥳 glad you’re enjoying our videos! See you in the next one ❤️
So good to see you guys riding this adventure - very inspirational. I did note in your video that when you backed the bike off the platform after be fork lifted into the warehouse, that the rear suspension continued to bounce. I think that leak you have had from your shock, most, if not all of the oil has escaped. The oil is what provides the dampening. No oil, and you basically have a po-go stick and it will wallow as you lean into the corners (like it did when you had the flat). Recommend you get it looked at, serviced with new oil and seals, or replaced. I think Suzuki should help you out here.
Just finished your South America Adventures.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Watching for maybe last 4 or 5 days 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. Cheers from Indonesia. What mountain do you climb while in Indonesia? I know Ijen Mt, for their sulfur block. Maybe I must search your others vlog. But, for now.. continue with your Central America. Ollie just like a book with anything information 😍😍. Cheers from Jogjakarta Indonesia 🇮🇩
That is a lot of gold! The most gold I've seen in one place was inside Windsor Castle! Glad to see the process went smoothly. With so many moto travellers going around the Darien Gap, they must do this process every day which makes it easier when they know what they're doing. See you again on the other side! 😁
The adventure continues. I'm glad things went smoothly so far for you and Bumblebee. Hopefully, you'll catch a flight soon and be in Panana. Safe and happy travels. See you in the next one. P.S. Bumblebee looks so good!
9:46 A very interestin video. Bumblebee looked a different bike after the clean. Good to see you having a trouble free day for a change after what seems to have been a lot of aggravation recently, may the good fortune long continue for the next leg of your adventure. Looking forward to the next report. Happy travels.❤
In "Travel Organization", these Motorcycle Flights are uncontrollable! For the cost and the whole procedure!!! Lucky you found this Girl. We are waiting for the continuation of the Adventure in Panama! Greetings from Athens-Greece!
The motorcycle was so clean I thought for sure it was a new bike until I saw the rear shock bouncing up and down , proof that it's BUMBLEBEE 😅!!! YEAH!!!! 🤘
Wish it was that cheap over here in the UK for a bike clean. Enjoy the next stage of the journey. Looking forward to the next instalments. Stay safe and well xx
At first was like £1250 ouch but then quite a bit of work goes in to transporting bumblebee. Lucky you had removed the leftover Gelatine ice cream as might have sent the sniffer dog into a food frenzy😂
Well the wash was nice and cheap against U.K. prices Great to see Bubblebee being looked after so well so far Sorry you have to wait a day Thanks for video. Wish You Well
this is clickbait. you didn't ACTUALLY crossed the Darien Gap WITH your motorcycle. please change your video title to say how you shipped your bike to panama like everyone else does. don't be a clickbaiter.
Hellooo Lavi & Ollie !!!! I see you are doing well !! Good video as usual...So I have a dumb question...Why didn't You just ride the motorbike to Panama ? Hope you have a trouble free flight. see you in the next video !!! As always you are in My thoughts My Friends !!! : )
Check about the conditions to ride or drive through the Darian Gap, and you will understand. It is a very dangerous adventure not only due to the very bad roads but also by the encounters you could face (robbery etc)

Absolutely loving your journey. You make it look so easy. looking forward to the next leg of the trip. Ride safe guys
Glad you think so 😅 Still hard times to come though that's for sure so lets see if we make it look easy then! Thanks for watching Paul 😁🙏
£3.00 for an immaculate bike clean, can't complain about that. So pleased to see you got to the airport safe and sound. Stay Safe.
Yes crazy right?! Was so clean as well! Bye bye South America 🥳 Can't wait to share our new adventure!

Noticed that as well. Certainly needs to be looked at.
I agree. Please don't wait to replace this shock, even temporary, because it can be very dangerous to ride under these conditions
We have a plan for it but we still have a way to ride!
Great work guys, that was so easy thanks to all those fabulous people👍Panama here we come, can't wait😁
Yes sooo easy 😁🙏 Central American adventure begins!!!
Ok 👍👌 lavi and ollie tschus 🎉

Will you be able to get the rear shock fixed or replaced soon? Like before it completely collapses! 😂
I think we're mostly on the spring now! Looking into it 😊

Yes it was so smooth and nice! Just awesome 😍
Greetings from Greece
🥳🥳🥳
Hi. Did you know About 20 25 or 30 years ago a bunch nutcases took about 3 Range Rovers and couple of Landy and drove across the Darien Gap !!!
Crazy guys 😍 love it
Good deal, have to remember this. Much easier this way. Beats paying the other side of life on the rivers.
Absolutely 😍
Always enjoyed your videos. Take care and safe riding 🛵❤️
Thanks Richard 😁🙏 Glad to hear it!
The adventure continues. I'm glad things went smoothly so far for you and Bumblebee. Hopefully, you'll catch a flight soon and be in Panana.
Safe and happy travels. See you in the next one.

Lucky you had removed the leftover Gelatine ice cream as might have sent the sniffer dog into a food frenzy😂
Yes it’s always expensive to ship or fly your bike 😭
Haha the gelatine 🤣🤣🤣
What?
That is not the same Lavi. No socks with the sandals. 😂
Stay safe, gute Farth.
Haha 🤣🤣🤣
Well the wash was nice and cheap against U.K. prices
Great to see Bubblebee being looked after so well so far
Sorry you have to wait a day
Thanks for video.
Wish You Well
Thanks so much for watching ❤️😍🐝

Goodbye bumblebee 🎉
🐝🐝🐝
My 2nd account now so seeing if can add an extra like😉
Cool 😍😍😍
this is clickbait. you didn't ACTUALLY crossed the Darien Gap WITH your motorcycle. please change your video title to say how you shipped your bike to panama like everyone else does. don't be a clickbaiter.
We did ACTUALLY cross it, in a plane 🤓
Thank you, not going to watch it then😁
👋🏻🤠
😁🙏 Thanks for watching!
Hellooo Lavi & Ollie !!!! I see you are doing well !! Good video as usual...So I have a dumb question...Why didn't You just ride the motorbike to Panama ? Hope you have a trouble free flight. see you in the next video !!! As always you are in My thoughts My Friends !!! : )
Check about the conditions to ride or drive through the Darian Gap, and you will understand. It is a very dangerous adventure not only due to the very bad roads but also by the encounters you could face (robbery etc)
Unfortunately there isn’t a road between the two countries 😅 thanks so much for watching and see you in the next one 🥳
I watch all your videos but I must have missed the bit where you explain why you are flying the bike over and not riding it to Panama?
There is a hostile jungle, and the boats that ferried motos have stopped operating.
Thanks, just googled it. Appreciate your reply.
Yes unfortunately it's one of those overland bits you just can't ride 😅
Adios to South America .. Looking forward to S4 .. Keep rocking !!!
Woohoo 🥳🥳🥳
How much did you pay for moto transportation?
About 1300$
🤍🤍😁😁
❤️❤️❤️
Burger???
Yes yummy veggie burger 😍
you didn't
Well the motorcycle was on one side and a few days later it was on the other side 🤣
Goodbye South America . Central America we're coming ! It's the second time that Bumblebee take leave of you.
It’s always hard to leave Bumblebee 😭
