Colombia is known for its drug cartels and the high number of people who die of acute lead poisoning. You must go there on a business trip under armed escort.
It is clear that despite all that oppression, there are still fun things to do. For example, an AMK reader found this virtually restored 'restored' Panhead from 1954 with an asking price of - converted - ten mille.
Interested in more old Harleys? The machine stood 
at Metal Custom, Comuna 17, Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. And 'Cali' is indeed related to the Cali cartel ...

There is also plenty to be found in Colombia for people who love vehicles other than traditional Harleys.
However, be careful when doing business. And realize that every transaction usually runs smoothly. Because of the bribe. For Colombian government services, bribery is a secondary employment condition.
Dear editor,
Nice that you pay attention to old vehicles and you will indeed find hidden gems in Colombia. Too bad you put it this way. Just like John, I also come here for years and have my roots here. Your story with 'your reality / truth' would do well in 1984 but is very outdated today. The truth is that when you place such a piece you should first delve into a country like this, and not rely on facts from the 80s.
Dear Luis Ernesto, I am happy to hear that our information is outdated. And we will say to the one who sent us his rather recent experiences that he was not worried about anything during his journey.
Dear editors.
Colombia is not only worthwhile for motorbikes etc.
The editors probably put on the funny cap and provided the article with a sauce of prejudice. That AMK reader will also be disappointed if his discovery is expressed in this way!
Perhaps a bit more up-to-date and realistic writing next time. Bribe, lead. (come and have a look in Amsterdam!)
Have been coming there for years and never experienced anything. So faint this story.
Hi John, Everyone experiences his journey as he experiences it. Lucky you have positive experiences.
