 But then we came through to the back and look what we found. Any chance we thought we had of making it to Bogota before doing something about this is over now. No, we're gonna have to deal with this now. Hi, I'm Lavi. And I'm Oli. And this is our hero, Bumblebee. Together, we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season three here in South America. Oh, yeah. All right, time to leave another love motel. And we've got to go through this like curtain of dreams here. It's always a bit weird. Good morning, world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 345 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here just 10 miles south of the city of Papayan in Colombia. And we've started pretty early this morning. I'm super proud of us, actually. It's 7.20 a.m. and we're on the bike and we're moving. Yeah. I think that's a new record for us. But it's good that we started early because we are on a mission to reach Bogota in two days. I don't have a map of Colombia at the moment, but I'll explain where we're going. We'll be heading up to Papayan and then around the city of Cali and across the Bogota. So the navigation says it's about 12 hours riding. We've got today and tomorrow and then we want to arrive in Bogota on the third day. But that day we also have to get our rear tire changed and we want to see the city a little bit. So we've got a busy three days ahead. But our first mission for today is to head into Papayan because there we've got to get ourselves a new SIM card because the one we bought two days ago seems to have already run out. And our other mission is to see if we can find insurance, the mandatory insurance for Colombia. Now at the border, they don't provide it. And yesterday was Sunday, so everywhere was closed. So today is pretty much the first day that we can go and see if this is possible. We're going to head to one company called Seguridad del Estado, the state security. I think it's the biggest company. And they've got an office in Papayan that opens at eight o'clock. So we're going to head over there and see if we can get some insurance from Bumblebee. Yeah, let's hope that the roads are nice and free and not blocked with landslides or accidents because we have a long way to go. And yeah, it's already 7.30, so better hit the road. Let's go. That place there was called Hakuna Matata. Oh, what a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata. Ain't no bassin' breeze. I'll slice these all again. Bly with you, Emma fan. Kind of an empty and steep philosophy. Hakuna Matata. De-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de. The Columbia-style sleeping. And the streets here. The only people who aren't sleeping are the graffiti artists. I mean, look at these walls. This is ridiculous. And it's a beautiful, like, historic street, probably 200 years old. And it's just, like, covered in graffiti back there. Wow, this is a beautiful church here as well. Look at that. Wow. Cool. Wow, literally we could be, like, in somewhere in Spain right now. Yeah. It's just coming up here on the left. Oh. Oh. Here. Ah, yes. It's a secret. It's a problem free. Philosophy. De-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de. Hakuna Matata. Hakuna. Good morning. Good morning. I can't speak Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. How are you? I'm fine. North, Akali. North. North, yeah. England and Germany. Yes. Yes, yes. Did they want something? No, they didn't actually want something from us because they said, oh, back there you didn't do something. They did. When we passed the junction, they went, boo, and then they stopped us. I think it was a stop sign. And I didn't stop. Yeah, better be careful. Okay, right. So this is the Seguras del Estado, and they open in 15 minutes. One hour later. Okay, so some guys on bicycles just came and told us that today is a public holiday. So they said that the insurance company isn't actually going to open today. So can you believe it? Yesterday was a Sunday, and today is a holiday, a public holiday. But they told us that there is a petrol station just down here that they reckon might sell the insurance. So we're going to go and check that out and see if we can get it. But they said if that place can't do it, then basically today, you're not going to be able to get it. Success? Yes. Did you have to get a new SIM card? Yes, the old SIM card is finished. It was just like a tourist SIM card. Okay, it says they sell so out here. Maybe you could ask as well. No? Okay. Awesome. So the SIM card was not very expensive. It was like what, £2.50 or so? Yeah. With two gigabytes of data on it? Yeah. So we got two, one for each phone, and then we can use my phone at the front for navigation. And Lavi can, I don't know, go on TikTok or whatever. My GPS is saying now it's 11 hours and three minutes to Bogota. 360 miles. Yes. It's nice to see the hours going down now and then we get closer to our destination. We're really praying that there's no road enclosure today. And it's a really funny thing as well because yeah, it's a public holiday here in Colombia today. Hopefully the roads will be nice and empty today. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to make the roads busier or less busy. I really don't know. I don't know. We'll find out, I guess. But the aim for today is to get within seven hours of Bogota. So that means about five hours of riding time today. But if we can get a little bit further than that, then we'll be doing even better. But yeah, if yesterday is anything to go by, then it might not be as smooth and simple as we imagine. Let's hope for the best, eh? We just stopped at the traffic lights and here are so many bikes now. I mean, look at that. It's like bloody mental. Behind us is a giant convoy. Yes, and we have a nice VStrom 650 just in front of us. Yeah. Hello guys. These guys here. From Colombia. Just got to be quite careful not to, like, side-hit into any of these other ones. Yes. Yeah, it's a bike country here, Colombia. Definitely. For sure. We saw these guys. I bet they're on a VStrom as well. Oh. Holy crab sticks. Holy crab stick. Ah. Hola. How's it going? Hello. How are you? How's it going? Hello. Comestas. Hello. Buenos dias, Buenos dias. Buenos dias, Buenos dias. Hello. Hello. Englishman, from Germany. Oh, you're from Colombia? Manchester. Manchester. Well, from everywhere. Ah, cool, cool. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Hi. He's the leader of the motorcycle group. Uh-huh. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. These guys are telling us that they are the, like, the only VStroms in Colombia. It's like the VStrom Club, which just happened to, like, ride next to them. That's so cool. Well, what are the chances we run into the VStrom Club of Colombia, hey? Yes. Cool. Yes. I love how they just, like, rode in front of us and literally stopped us, like, like, stop. We must talk to you because you're a VStrom owner. Yes! Yes! He's not a Vistron? He is not, no? What is he doing? I don't know He gave me like this thing I have to put around my head And then I have like a second Like a second tail here It's like a ponytail No way, he gave you it? Yes! He said it's a present, have it I'm like what? So nice So nice Wow Super cool But anyway, it was really lovely to talk to you guys And we love Colombia So we've reached a flat area now And here is a lot of sugarcane being grown Yeah, wow, there are no mountains around us anymore It's like literally completely flat Yeah But we had enough twisties yesterday so Yeah, it's actually nice to have those flat Straight roads Hashtag Patagonia But anyway, yeah, it's really really beautiful here The ride has been actually really nice So far It's just nice to have a calm, chilled ride It was really something I was looking for And Oli got a nice coffee And we just ordered some tortilla So apparently it's just egg with rice and salad Yeah, they said they had like no vegetables to go with it so And otherwise it's very hot now I think it's nearly 30 degrees So we might have to change back into our armors There you go It's not bad, hey It's really good, really good I get some soy sauce Gracias, chau chau It's so nice, we gave them stickers And they put their stickers on their aprons Yes, we had a spontaneous photo shoot with these guys They were so cute and so friendly Oh my god, it was a really nice break Yeah, and we changed from our jackets into our armor outfits And our fox jerseys This is just nice and breezy now That's beautiful Yeah So anyway, we have nine hours to Bogota So we've still got to do a couple hours before we reach our target But yeah, we're doing pretty well It's been a beautiful day so far So in front of us here is a crazy crazy long sugarcane train Look at this One carriage Two carriages Three carriages Whoa And whilst we were having our break We saw a whole bunch of those passing by the petrol station And man, some of them were five carriages long Can you actually believe that? Five carriages That's like, how can they possibly control that vehicle? That is insane I think they can't I think they're literally dry wood with closed eyes Yeah, exactly On the five carriage one, the rear, the last carriage was like flying around Like no control from the front Very mad And man, it's just endless amount of sugarcane here Endless amounts of sugarcane Literally in all directions, as far as the eye can see It's just the fields of sugarcane Incredible Oh, we've got a tractor One, two, three, four, five Holy moly Holy sugarcane We have made it Within seven hours of Bogota We have completed our mission for today Celebrating with some wafers Yes But also our suspension I don't know if you saw it in a previous episode Just noticed something quite weird as well We've got something dripping from the bike That we have like this oil leak Coming out of the cylinder In the middle of our suspension coil And basically that oil is dripping away Which is basically making our suspension like super bouncy So we're going to tighten up the suspension There's a little dial on the side of the bike We're going to tighten that one up now So hopefully it's not so much like this Because it's getting a bit crazy, to be honest So this dial here has like H and S Which I assume is hard and soft So I'm going to click it A couple more clicks this way One, two Yeah Two Yeah Let's go with two for now We're going with two clicks And we'll see how it goes So we've got another strange thing happening with the bike And I'm not sure if this is related to the suspension or not But basically what's happening now is That when I'm sort of leaning into a corner We've got this sort of wobble going on On the front, on the handlebars So I don't know if I can really show you But when I get to like here, look at that It's like the whole bike is sort of being like And I think it must be related to the suspension being like Really soft But when I'm flat I don't really feel any issue Really strange Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that But I don't really want to take corners too fast In this state Yeah It's either that or something to do with the rear tire But I really don't know exactly what's causing that But it's a little bit strange Well it's time for us to get a new back tire definitely We've managed to arrange with a garage in Bogota Who have a couple of different models of tire So we're going to go and see with them which tire we're going to have But hopefully if all goes well And we reach Bogota tomorrow Then we can get that tire replaced the day after tomorrow Which is basically one day before our flight But yeah, about this issue At the moment I have no idea So we're having a little look to try and figure this out Why it's going a bit weird And I thought maybe the front wheel wasn't aligned But it really looks like it is aligned But then we came through to the back And look what we found Boom That would explain why we've got a bit of a wobble going on Because we have lost tire pressure in the rear wheel Now I'm not sure how low it is But also we've got some cracking here And there's literally no more tread in the middle So it's a really good job We're on our way to Bogota to get this fixed Wow, crazy I'm scared now to go any further with this one actually Well it depends how long we've had that for Because if we've had it like that for like the last few days Then it's okay Then we just ride with the low tire pressure until we get there I mean it's literally one more ride and we're there I think we'll carry on for today and we'll see how it is I'll just take the corners nice and easy I mean worst case scenario if it's really bad We just have to get the tire fixed in that other town Ibague And we just get any tire Okay All right let's carry on for now See how we get on Okay so we just jumped back on and It's definitely getting lower and lower by the second Any chance we thought we had of making it You know to Bogota before doing something about this is over now No we're going to have to deal with this now today So there's a town coming up in 30 minutes called Armenia It's a funny name for a town In Armenia there's a bike shop which is still open Open till six So we're going to ride over to there And see what they can do about it But yeah for now we're going to take it pretty easy So we've got 13 miles to get to Armenia And then we'll see what we can do Yeah All right so we're getting into town now We are now two miles away from the bike mechanic But there's like tons of speed bumps in this town And it's really really nerve-wracking because I don't want the whole bike hitting the rim of the wheel But our tire is getting flatter and flatter by the minute Yeah we can really feel the wobble now It's like I don't think there's any air left actually No it feels super weird This bike is bouncing around now a lot And it's pretty wobbly on the back Kind of feels like we're riding on sand Yeah it feels super crazy And I'm really really hoping that something is open today Because it is a holiday, a public holiday Okay God Yeah it's not too cool when you're riding slow In traffic like this because everyone wants to get around you Oh man I'm just so worried about If the tire gets too low and the bike hits that rim If all the bike weight lands on the rim of the wheel there Then that that rear wheel is going to be toast Then it's game over So not not cool Okay so the place Place should be coming up in a second Somewhere here Is it this one right here? Nope Yeah maybe No no it's not No I can't see anything This thing Nope Taladimotos el Bosque It's probably this place you know Maybe but whatever it is it's totally closed So I think we're gonna have to Google map our way to another one Just up here for a moment Okay So we've tried a couple of mechanics We tried to call one just now But everyone is closed today because of the public holiday So for now we'll just try to find a place to stay for tonight And then tomorrow morning we will call up some garages And ride around and see if we can fix the tire Because the tire is bad Totally Totally down now Totally down Hotel el bosque Which I think means forest That's why it's green So they have private parking which is awesome Yeah that looks really flat now I can push that in We made it have been alive with the flat tire but alive Yeah that last bit was pretty hairy to be honest It was a bit like So um yeah we can't really ride much more on that tire to be honest No luckily a town wasn't too far away after we have noticed And actually tomorrow hopefully the shops will be open And we will figure something out because we definitely need a new tire You know it's crazy it's like Colombia is throwing loads of obstacles at us First it was food poisoning Then a diversion that took us all around the mountains A landslide and now a flat tire It's like I don't even know what to believe anymore We just want to reach there to get the flight you know for Bumblebeer It's like the one time that we have to get somewhere on a specific date And it's like Colombia is throwing everything at us at the moment It's absolutely crazy I think Colombia just wants us to stay here actually for longer And I wish we could spend more time here because it looks absolutely lovely The people are amazing The landscapes are amazing The streets are so clean and nice I can't believe it Like the nature and the people are just amazing here And I would love to spend more time So that's it from us today We hope you enjoyed the video If so please give us a thumbs up Subscribe to the channel Share the video with your friends and family Comment below and we will see you next time
