Panamá City, Panamá, Panamá 5-9-2010
Odómetro: 14,736.2 miles
After 4 days and 3 nights aboard the Stahlrattle it was good to get going on the bike again. It is always good to get away and have a rest from riding, but for this one case, that usually does not get me closer to the goodie rolls. We arrived in Panama City long before dark, but not in time to get the paper work done at customs to temporarily import the motorcycles. There are no customs agents in Carti and we had to drive 3 hours to Panama City, arriving after 16:00 to find customs in Panama City closed. The next day we were then told by customs we needed 3rd party insurance before they would fill out the paper work. The insurance companies would not under write the policy for bikes that do not have the proper papers from customs. I asked if they all had trained at the US Customs School of Dingle berries. With a good laugh under his belt the customs guy filled out the papers for me and I was off in search for insurance.
