panamscram Website Finally, as I’ll not want to continue to bore the pants off you for any longer, I’ve got a blog where you can follow my story www.thebigmotoadventure.com the long-term plan is not only to keep friends and family updated and keen readers engaged but to also use some of the text to hopefully write a book or a guide about the trip. there’s no dearth of books on the market on the subject but the best one’s yet to come! You can read about the intricacies of blogs and motorcycle trip website building in Issue 14 of rUst <strong>magazine</strong>. so, what is it? adventure awaits or adventure is out there? either way, as you read this I’ll be out there adventuring. hope you can join me, in any way, for the ride..
ust adventure Motofreight in London, were superb and sent me the application form and a list of documents that needed to be submitted to get this. there are no associated costs to get the exemption, however, I’m told that I’ll need to pay a $60 fee when I get to U.s. customs in anchorage. the exemption can take between 2-4 weeks to be cleared, and the application template is pretty straightforward. 5: Pedigree documents – I’ve got my passport, U.K. Driving license and the V5 registration document for the bike. From what I’ve researched and have been told by fellow travellers, this is the holy trinity of documentation that is required at all border crossings and at most checkpoints across the americas. 6: International Driving License (IDP) – I was not going to get this till the kind people at Motofreight pointed out that there are some border crossings in Central & south america where I won’t be granted motorcycle insurance without an IDp. £5.50 and 10 minutes is all it takes to get one of these at most of the post offices in the U.K. 7: Vaccination certificates – I got most of my travel jabs last year including rabies, for Madagascar. the only crucial one that I was missing was Yellow Fever. Just like the IDp, some border crossings will insist on checking your yellow fever vaccination certificate. Before I knew it, I had an ‘I was brave for the nurse today’ sticker from my nurse – who clearly seems to have a sense of humor. 8: Freight Paperwork – I’m carrying all the invoices and paperwork from the freight company for any queries at customs both for sally and I. 9: Point it Book (optional) – not a document and clearly optional if you speak the local language of the country you’re travelling to. Well, my spanish is limited to handful of words – appalling but true. this a wee book that fits in the palm of your hand and has pictures of most things a traveller might need – all you have to do is point at the picture. there’s also an app for it. I’ve used this book in eastern europe and it works a treat. 10: Photocopies & Photographs (optional) – I’ve made 10 colour photocopies of my passport, V5 and driving license and am taking them with me, as the thought of running from pillar to post due to the lack of them in Central american heat makes my heart sink. no doubt, I’ll still need to get some done at the border but hopefully these’ll save me some time. I’m also carrying about 20 odd passport size photographs – not sure when I’ll use them, but I’ve been recommended to carry these by veteran pan-american travellers. easy isn’t it?! to reiterate, the above list is a combination of mandatory and optional documents that I’ve sorted out to start the ride. I’ll pull another list together either a few months into my trip, or after, which will try and reflect the paperwork required to ride the pan americas. give me a shout if you think I’ve missed something and you, sir/Madam, will be my paperwork saviour. www.rustsports.com
