New Zealand motorcyclists ride across Korean DMZ
Well, just to show you that motorcyclists can potentially 'unite' countries.
I rode with Jo and Gareth Morgan on a journey through South America in 2002. Gareth and Jo have gone on to do major rides all over the world - the complete length of silk road, Cape Town to London and more. Riding under the banner of Silk Riders and World by Bike.

and Silk Riders - Gareth Morgan traveling in the footsteps of Marco Polo
So now the latest is the journey through Korea - both North and South crossing the DMZ. The crossing was part of a 9,000 kilometre journey that began in the Russian city of Magadan, and aimed to traverse the mountain "spine" of the Korean peninsula, from Mount Paektu in the North to Mount Halla in the South.

What a great achievement. Well done to them.
Cheers, SB

If you start heading down some dirt road in Colombia, you may find yourself on cartel property and your going to get shot.
I can't find anyone to tell me different.
edit: I forgot to mention that, in Colombia, kidnapped for ransom is a big problem. LINK
Its a risk factor 4 on this LIST
I'm sure Jo and Gareth Morgan have done their homework before setting out on their fantastic journeys.

What few people know is there are few to no roads connecting Central America to South America. You really have to know what your doing. From what I've heard, there are just a few dirt roads that you can safely (and that's iffy) use. If you go to google maps, try to voom in on any roads connecting Panama to Columbia.

It's called the Darién Gap TBT and my Daughter is due to cross over it in the next few weeks.
