panamscram manageable – but this is on road, I’ve not taken the bike off road with all the kit and that’s going to be a whole different story. no doubt, like most other overlanders I will end up donating my excess kit to people I meet along the way, hey-ho! Irrespective of less or more stuff, we so called adventure riders / Overland riders have mastered the art of living off our bikes for months and years – which is definitely something worth celebrating. In this age of consumerism, excess and waste, we’re still flying the minimalism flag high and showing the world that you only need a set of panniers and roll bags to not only exist but thrive anywhere in the world. so, knowing there are a lot of nerdy types, like me, who are curious as to what to take here’s my list (opposite). The devil’s in the documentation and here I thought I could just get up and go ride the length of the world or as I fondly call my ride #panamscram. We love romanticising the fact that one can have a cavalier attitude to planning and ride the world as long as one has a passport, bike and a credit card. Well, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news – no matter how bohemian you may be, there’s some documentation that needs to be taken care of before you ride another continent – the americas in my case. I’m writing this article as a British passport holder and depending on what passport you hold, you may or may not need to get the below sorted out before you ride the length of the world. I have to admit, that a British passport compared to my old Indian passport is a blessing to travel and explore the world. not many people in the developed world realise just how easy it is for them to travel to another country – it’s as simple as buying a ticket and off you toddle. to put it in perspective, if I was doing the same trip on an Indian passport, there’s no way I could have organised my trip in eight weeks or less. I’d need a good few months or so just to organise the visas for the 18 odd countries and would been buried in documentation for months. I empathise with riders I read of online, who are on rtW trips and struggle to get visas for countries en route. all I can say is hang in there – there’s light at the end of the tunnel. On page 48 is list of documents I needed to organise for sally and I to start the panamscram. as the ride progresses, I’m sure I’ll need country specific insurance and importation documents, most of which can be purchased (or so I’m told…) at borders south of the United states.
