Hi

My name is Chuck and I am also moving to Pereira this year I hope in August. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how you shipped your stuff to Colombia and what was the requirements from the La Dian. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My email is crw1977 at sbcglobal.net Thank you in advance.

Hi Chuck, I used a company called J&J Logistics 305-805-8300, there in Miami. as far as requirements your allowed all your household goods and cloths, i would not try and sneak a brand new ten thousand dollar home entertainment system in that shipment, they will nail you on the taxes

Hey gringomorgan,

Love Triumph´s had a Speed triple while i was Building this S/S motor Bike. Thanks for the the words about about my Bike, I sold it a few months ago before moving to Colombia, It was a Fat tire 180, On a hardtail frame, with a Supercharged S/S 117 Cu Motor, making about 150 horspower, also had a shot of NOS good for about 75 more horspower when those 1300 busa´s annoyed me. I just purchased my first used moto here in Colombia Yesterday, A small Kawasaki 175, well small for my standerds mid size for Colombia, most motos here are anywhere from 90cc to the what they say is big Honda CBR150, Now I´m in the process of the document and insurance , Just a word to the wise nothing here happens in 1 day, give it 3 days to a week ..... its Latin time.... Ohhhh and paper every thing is done on paper, trees are not safe here.
My wfes family found out i Purchased a used Moto and now almost every erson in the family has called to add there 2 cents about i will be killed , it will be stolen, it´s a 2 stroke and they are illegal in colombia, it´s a big Motos and the tax is very high, bring him to the hospotail and show him all the hurt people from Motos, My wish is if a person has no fuken clue about a moto SHUT UP.... I have been riding and racing since the age of 10, grew up in NYC and rode every day sometimes even in snow, Can i be hurt or even killed riding , Of course but that is my Choice and the chance I take to have freedom to move around when i want
