Officially On The Road 

 Yesterday we spent about six hours extracting 15 bikes, one truck, one trailer, and an unconscionable amount of other stuff from the hands of Colombian customs in the port of Catagena. Usually this can take days and we are forever in the debt of Victor Sierra who runs Valley Group Cargo and is an enthusiastic motorcyclist, and his amazing staff, for their energy and patience in getting us on the road. This could have been a nightmare but it went way better than expected. 

 My bike fired up first time, the two bottles of whisky had not been commandeered by US or Colombia customs, and then we were into rush hour traffic to get outta there. 

After one more day of reorganizing our crap and adding the team colors to our bikes via plastic wraps, we are now ready to head south in search of South America.
