o In Peru warf mich mein Motorrad bei Tempo 120 auf die Straße, weil der vordere Kotflügel brach und das Vorderrad blockierte. Es überschlug sich über die Vorderradachse. Nun, Fliegen ist manchmal nicht die beste Art unterwegs zu sein.
o I returned to Germany / Europe.
o In Peru, my bike threw me on the road at a speed of 120 km/h because the front fender broke and blocked the front wheel. It tumbled over the front axle. Well, flying is sometimes not the best way to be on the road.
or I went back to Germany / Europe.
or in Peru, I threw my bike at a speed of 120 km / h on the road because the front wing broke and locked the front wheel. He collapsed on the front axle. Well, flying is not always the best way to be on the road.
Eigentlich verhalten aller Länder sich die Zöllner ähnliches: Sie sind wichtig (verstehen keinen Spaß), gründlich (umständlich und langsam) und korrekt (halten sich an Gesetze und Vorschriften, why / what have you). Unfriendly officials have seen only in Germany. I myself was a victim of corruption. Except in Honduras (where I had to and exit pay a total of about U.S. $ 200) and Argentina (on departure to Chile 'worked' the civil servants' to strict regulation ", which is why I am more patient than 4 hours in the border station had), everything was in Latin America following the same pattern.
The entry: copy
E1 Lasse passport and Certificate of at least 1 year in a special copy shop (sometimes 2 times).
E2 vehicle parked in front of the customs building.
E3 immigration form at the counter fill fetch.
E4 switch on migration do take (MIGRATION) for entry, submit passport and entry form, enter your travel dates, questions about weapons, drugs, foods deny passport with a visa stamp and docket contrary.
E5 insurance policy for motorcycle insurance on a separate switch (usually in another building) collect a fee (on average about 20 U.S. $ in Mexico about U.S. $ 120); approval to submit.
E6 employment at customs counter (Aduana), submit passport with a visa, registration certificate and insurance policy. In most cases, an official of the vehicle identification number on the frame compares with that of the papers. In Mexico needs at the counter at the border or a fee are paid. Keep all receipts, they must be presented upon departure. If you lose, for example, the fees you pay on exit slip again! Then you get a temporary import permit for the motorcycle.
E7 drive to the tax collector, enter the docket from, tell him where and why, deny all the questions about weapons, drugs, food, and do not know anything more if he requires the payment of any sums of money. You should then also English-friendly and always with the utmost regret - not really dominate. No matter who you go on after some time without further cost. The whole thing takes so about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. In Guatemala I had
addition First, the Yami-fee course, 'disinfect'-let (a guy did Yami wet with a garden sprayer).
I've never searched, or been harassed extra. However, my so-called customs workers took to the mind. They are completely useless if you speak a little English. Ask the people at the counters, if you are correct, or where you have the next point, you get the right answer (except perhaps in Argentina). In Honduras, a large crowd stood around me, pulled even on my clothes. I said I would only talk to one, they should be agreed as to whom. In the ensuing chaos I have squashed me. I believe that war is today.
Ausreise:
Fahre UNBEDINGT VOR der Ausreise zur Zollstation, gehe zum Ausreiseschalter, lege Reisepass, Einfuhrerlaubnis für das Motorrad, und gegebenenfalls die Einzahlungsquittung vor. Nehme den ABGESTEMPELTEN Reisepass in Empfang. Suche einen Geldwechsler und tausche Deine restlichen Valuta (Im Nachbarland will -ausser US$- keiner günstig wechseln). Fahre durch das Niemandsland zur Grenzstation des Einreiselandes.
The behavior of the customs officers are similar all over the world: They are important (they don't tolerate jokes), thoroughly (slow and cumbersome) and correctly (hold on laws and regulations, to which / what ever). I myself was not a victim of corruption. Except in Honduras (where I had to pay a total of about U.S. $ 200 at the entry and exit) and Argentina (when leaving for Chile the officials where "strictly working according to the regulations" which made me waiting for more than 4 hours in the border station), ran in Latin America all followed the same pattern.
ENTRY:
E1 Buy a copy of passport and motorbikes registration certificate in a special copy shop (sometimes two copies).
E2 Park your vehicle in front of the customs building
E3 Get an immigration form from the counter
E4 Queue in front of the immigration counter (Entry), submit your passport and entry form, specify the required length of stay, deny all questions about weapons, drugs, food, take your passport with a visa stamp and routing slip.
E5 Buy an Insurance policy for your motorcycle on a separate counter (usually located in another building). The fee is about U.S. $ 20 on average, in Mexico about U.S. $ 120); keep your registration on hand.
E6 At the customs counter (ADUANA), submit your passport with a visa, registration certificate and insurance policy. In most cases, an official compares the vehicle identification number on the frame with that of the papers. In Mexico a fee is to be paid must be at a bank counter near the border. Keep all the supporting documents, they must be presented to the exit again. (If you lost the bill of fee, for instance, you have to pay on exit slip again!) Then you get a temporary import permit for the bike.
E7 Ride to the customs officer, hand over the routing slip, tell him where to go and why, deny all the questions about weapons, drugs, food, and do nothing if he / she requires the payment of any sums of money. You should then -friendly and always with the utmost regret - not really understand neither in spanish nor in english. So you may continue after some time without further cost. The whole thing takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
In Guatemala at first I had to pass my Yami to a desinfection station (a guy made Yami wet with a garden hose) - for a fee of course .
I 've never been frisked, or have been harassed. But I 've been bothered by so-called customs helpers. They are completely useless if you able to speak some English. Ask the people at the counters wether you are correct, or where you have to go to. You 'll get the correct answer (except perhaps in Argentina). In Honduras, a whole crowd of them stood around me, pulled even on my clothes. I said I would talk to one only, they should deside to whom. In the ensuing chaos I have gulped me. They are still arguing and shouting I guess.
EXIT:
BEFORE leaving the country ride to the customs station, go to the EXIT counter, put your passport, the import permit for the motorcycle, and any deposit receipt. Receive the stamped passport. Change your remaining valuta (the money changers in the next country hardly wants to change for a fair rate, except U.S. $). Drive through the no mans land to the border point of the destination country.
Polizei- oder Militärkontrollen kommen in Lateinamerika häufig vor. Nur in Mexico und in Honduras bin ich je ein Mal von Polizisten um 20 US$ erleichtert worden - ohne Beleg natürlich, die Begründungen waren ebenso dreist wie vordergründig. Nachdem ich mich dem Kontrollpunkt langsam und mit offenem Helmvisier genähert, I turned off the engine and see me immediately as a German, where, always developed a friendly conversation, in which finally stood around most of the whole team around me and was amazed. I never was searched. Only once was the police patrol pretty nervous, let himself see the box in the side pocket of my tank bag. When I explained to him that it was my chain spray, he relaxed and introduced the mandatory fun.
They are common in Latin America. I had to pay about 20 bucks to corrupt police officers in Mexico and in Honduras only - without any evidence, of course.
I usually approached the checkpoint slowly and with an open visor, turned off the engine and immediately introduced me as a German. Always a friendly conversation came up, in which the whole team finally stood around of me and was amazed. I never have been bothered. Once only a police patrol was pretty nervous, anxious looking at a tin in the side pocket of my tank bag. When I explained to him that this was my chain lube spray, he relaxed, loughed and took the obligatory chat.
Besonders in Zentralamerika -am häufigsten in Mexico-, etwas weniger in Südamerika, werden die Fahrzeugführer mittels Fahrbahnschwellen zur Geschwindigkeitsreduktion schikaniert. Sogar in curves well outside towns such semicircular about 25 cm high obstacles are placed. These things are often not visible in the dark, certainly not. Suspension, spine and wrists are pulled by affected. Without the protection of my engine block had been destroyed. The few paved roads
are usually in good condition. Only in Nicaragua and Colombia were first insert than on the road map Order shown, the real completely destroyed, some were without any covering. The branch lines are usually designed as gravel roads that can be done well under enduro tires with sufficient tread depth. For the Bolivian Altiplano are sand and mud suitable Terrain tires required! About 100 km there is more dirt on / open spurts slopes. There they met often for hours to no man. If you have an accident there alone can be very uncomfortable. Here one should be out only in the company.
Particularly in Central America, most frequently in Mexico, slightly less in South America, drivers are harassed by speed bumps for speed reduction. Even in towns outside curves far tested about 25 cm (10 inches) high semi-circular obstacles are placed. These things are often not visible, certainly not in the dark. Suspension, spine and wrists have been tortured. Without the protection my engine block had been destroyed.
The few paved roads are generally in a good condition. The road maps of Nicaragua and Colombia issued first class roads which actually were completely destroyed partly without any pavement. The secondary roads are usually made of gravel which can be done well with enduro tires with sufficient tread depth. The Bolivian Altiplano requires off road tires suitable for sand and mud! Some 300 km are just dirt tracks. You are in the middle of nowhere, indeed. Often there is no one to be seen for hours. An accident in that loneliness might be turn to be very uncomfortable. Here one should be out only in comrades company.

The motorcycle
Because it will go to all possible target for The bases, the moped robust, strong, but should not be too hard, I have decided on a Yamaha XT660R.
> 100% Match! I'm thrilled. Besides the wear of
tires and chain set, I had to complain only 4 cable breaks.
has since Yamaha sloppy in my opinion. The displayed
'engine overheating' turned out to be a fraction of the cable to
temperature sensor (of course after I had selfsame
replaced). The other break points: The
side stand switch, turn signals, rear right, front right turn signal;
each frayed. The small tank (max. 15 l) forces all
1.5 to 2 hours to a halt, sometimes annoying. Otherwise, simply
only good, especially with my sometimes brutal stress in
terrain.
The standard production machine I've missed a few 'additions':
overload
> a must. He has so many rocks and put on
stones or 'Geschwindigkeitsreduktoren' (across the road
attached sleepers, about 20 to 25 cm high, particularly 'popular'
in Central America)
Hauptstaender > very helpful a
enlarged Seitenstaenderflaeche > Do
tire holder, front and rear
-hydraulic clutch actuator
> very helpful. Much smoother and more sensitive than
the cable fixing. Very gentle hand.
adjustable hand brake lever > very helpful
handle protectors
> a must. You have prevented any damage from falling over or
the fall of the handlebar controls.
Increases Windabweiserscheibe
> very helpful. For long trips, the discharge of
wind pressure tremendously. However, the noise level in the
helmet is slightly higher-at least for my body size.
power supply for heated gloves
> not needed. I think heated gloves general
better than heated grips, because these only the palms
warm, but not particularly concerned Fingerspitzen.
Aber selbst bei Fahrten um die 0°C waren die Handschuhe von
Bähr auch ohne Heizung warm genug.

* Clothing
motorcycle suit, Rukka AirVision
> I am very disappointed. The suit is only shower proof, if
the inner suit zipped (only the Gore-Tex is made of!).
But then I was at about 23 ° C temperature inside 'cooked'.
The advertised ventilation works only without the inner suit.
The pants can with inner slip dress with a lot of fiddling,
simply hop just does not work. The fabric is scratched from pack straps
the Axel range. Vulnerable areas are not provided with
Cordura, after a fall is the stuff through. The outside pockets are not
waterproof. The legs slip off the
shoe up; thus it rains in the shoes. A bar band could
prevent this, is lacking.
Conclusion: The suit may hold in a narrow band air
advertised properties, as the only weather protection for a trip
through several climate zones, it is of no use, so much
too expensive!
before my next trip I will equip myself with more
protective layers in which the rain cover is outside and can be quickly pulled
if required to. On this
high-tech-speak, I fall in. no more.
Never Rukka.
Da helfen auch die wirksamen Protektoren nicht, zumal ich einen Brust-
sowie Schienbeinschutz vermisst habe.
Wanderschuhe = Motorradschuhe
> gutes Konzept, in steinigem Gelände sind zusätzliche
Schienbeinprotektoren hilfreich. Stegbänder an den Hosen
verhindern ein Hochrutschen und somit dass Regenwasser von oben
in die Schuhe dringt.
Klappsturzhelm
> für mich als Brillenträger unverzichtbar. Der Klappmechanismus
meines Nolan-Helms hat den Staub der Wüsten nicht verkraftet. Er
liess sich eines Tages nicht mehr schliessen. Zu reparieren war er
nicht mehr. Ich musste unterwegs einen neuen Helm kaufen. In den
Nolan-Helm hatte ich eine Bluetooth Kommunikationsanlage
eingebaut, um telefonieren, und die GPS-Ansagen hören zu können.
Ab Tempo 60 ist wegen der Windgeräusche im Helm nichts mehr zu
verstehen, die Anlage also praktisch nicht zu gebrauchen. Meinen
Kopf hat der Helm bei einem Sturz wirksam geschützt. Ein
Halswirbeltrauma he failed to avoid.
Now I drive a HANS (head and neck protection).
motorbike gloves, summer
motorcycle gloves, winter, heated
rain overshoes
> unnecessary. My Goretex boots were wet from the inside only if
the pants had slipped up.

Image quality, I'm not sad.

Provide the supplies a EURO-Card, and one each
MASTERCARD and VISA Card of 2 banks. The two card companies have different lift-LIMITS and frequencies. 2 banks to spread risks, weil man nicht wissen kann, ob eine Bank lange genug existiert. Die Kreditkarten sind auch keine absolut sichere Geldversorgungsmethode.
> Alles richtig! Die DKB hat 'aus Sicherheitsgründen' kurz vor Weihnachten
in La Paz meine Karte im ATP-Automaten einbehalten. Nach meinem
Telefonat mit der Bank in Deutschland war der Service zwar gut, aber
bei besserer vorheriger Information wäre eine 4-tägige Ortsbindung
vermeidbar gewesen. Während der Reise wurde die PIN-Struktur des
DKB-online banking access changed, which I noticed only after the
change period.
Score: Account processing was only after the middle of a new division

In Chile, the master of my bank card was not accepted.

Das Moped und das 'Bordgepaeck' -ohne Lebensmittel, Seeds, drugs and weapons (as the Americans are sensitive) - springs are compressed package in the sea chest, lash, the suitcase unlocked, the battery is disconnected, the isolated poles, removed the tank almost empty, 'standing over' parts. Crate to. Packing list, copies of the registration and drivers' licenses to send to the Seefrachtfuehrer.
truck - freight from home to Hamburg-Sued.
sea freight from HH to Montreal, from 19.07. until 27.07.2009
28.07.09 customs clearance in Montreal. Maybe.
> Am 31.07. I was able to free the bike from the warehouse in Montreal
. There, in Valparaiso, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina
I had to learn that the warehouses do not hurry.
The handling of cargo in Latin America is untouchable, so a
adventure in itself. The obligatory "customs agents" are my
experience an end in itself, absolutely unnecessary hindrance.
However, sets the working knowledge of English
local expression, and a lot of patience and understanding of the local
mentality ahead.
The steamer trunk for the journey was far too expensive, so expensive.
For the 3-week return freight shippers zurrten firmly with my Yami
belts on a long range, carpentered a slatted frame so
shrank and a film about it. Does! Simple and good, and cheaper.
* Travel Booking
on 27/07/2009 with LH to Geneva, then to Montreal with Air Canada. 11h total travel time. Return ticket for easy entry to Canada necessary!
Total Price = 630, - €
NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THE B / L (Bill of Loading) for the motorcycle ocean! Otherwise you get the scooter never out of the customs.
> Not true, the export documents you get at the local
carrier issued. And after the return ticket was actually asked by my
entry .
* Insurance
are really needed health insurance and international motor vehicle liability insurance. has
My private health insurance the defined-benefit to the whole world for a period of 2 years extended coherently.
In Nowag Rodgau I have completed the international motor vehicle insurance.
