Anyone know how long parts take to clear Colombian customs? `

[peteFoulkes]

I had a high speed fall a few days ago and have managed to smash up my bottom end on my DRZ 400. I'm currently in Pasto in southern Colombia and trying to source parts locally but it looks unlikely.

Does anyone have any experience with how much time it typically takes for parts to clear Colombian customs at all and also what the process will actually involve from this end? My spanish is still only at a basic level so if it involves complicated paper work then it could be a struggle.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Pete.

I've smashed up my DRz in a place called Pasto. Damaged the frame, crank case and the magnesium cover. We're working with a local mecanic now to see what he can do with the damaged parts. There is more details on this thread here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...3#post20082583

I checked out the pics from your crash. Ouch, but glad to hear ;you are not broken anywhere. I am slowly working my way westward, and after picking up a new tire in Bogata, may even be within shouting distance of your two. Don't give up hope. We had a Garmin base repairid in Cartegena, and everyone said that it was toast. There are some very talented folks down here.
