 Good morning everybody, it's 7.30am and yep, the tire is still mega mega flat, in fact it's gone down like all the way, look at that, yeah totally toast. Somewhere here we've got a big chunk of metal in there, I think a nail or something, actually there's two chunks of metal in there and yesterday we were riding as it was slowly going down and luckily we got to an accommodation in this town called Armenia and this morning my mission is to take poor hurt bumblebee over to a tire shop and see if we can get a replacement for this tire, hit me on the head, bye bye. 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. Alright here we go, let's see how bumblebee handles with a completely flat rear, I've got a little bit of a wobble in the steering but actually it's pretty smooth, so there is actually a motorcycle shop just there, but we had a look at the pictures of this one, I think this one's called Ronda and in the pictures this one looks like it has a lot of tire options and maybe even some 50-50 or sort of more off-road on-road tires rather than just road tires but let's see what they've got that will fit our tire size, oh red light, Lavi's obviously staying at the accommodation this morning, chilling, having a coffee in bed hay, actually handling pretty well, with a completely flat rear, there's literally only a few blocks away, a couple of blocks more then to the left, a couple of blocks down there and we should be there, look at this crazy church, oh really historic and nice don't run over the dog, don't have insurance to cover dogs, what am I doing, I'm going into normal motorbike mode like yeah just blast past the bus and I'm like wait hold on a minute I've got literally got no air in the rear tire, I should take it easy, like everything's alive at 7.50 in the morning, crazy, let's just see if the mechanic is alive, seems to be a lot of motorcycle shops here but where is the one that we have looked up online, oh where is it, Ronda Ronda Ronda Ronda Ronda Ronda Ronda Ronda had lots lots of tires, ah Ruda, okay so the guy working in this shop, this fella here, he has told me that there's a place just up here that will probably have something that I need, he says that he just has road tires in his shop so that could be an option B to get a road tire but ideally we want something with a little bit of off-road capability so anyway he said that just up here is a place called rally motos so we'll ride over to rally motos and see what they got, you have a lot of tires, but not the one that you're looking for, no really, what do you have in 150-70, ah you have this tire, okay I see and this is the like 150-60, do you think there's another shop, yeah here that would have something, this corner, the other one okay, three okay, yeah that's the other one or, okay, okay, the yellow and black, oh central, okay, and the other one is multi yantas, oh I see yantas, okay thank you so much, okay three more recommendations over here so let's check these ones out, so far everyone just has road tires Hola buenas, buen dia, tiene 150-70, no, 70, 150-70, si 170, yeah, okay okay thank you, these tires are carousel, okay, for real tires, it's a yeah it's a 50-50 or 70, this is 60-50, perfect, cool, Metzler, Metzler carousel street, the $117, okay, yeah perfect, look he got out the nail from the tire look how big that is, oh that was what was inside, look at that, there's mucho peso todo tempo, todo, muchas gracias, thank you, thank you, perfecto, muchas gracias thank you, thank you so much, okay thank you, awesome, yes Bumblebee is back on the road with the new Metzler carousel street tire, I think it's called, so that is awesome and that was done super fast, it's only 9 a.m. so managed to get that sorted super fast, super easy, so I'm just gonna head back to the hotel where Lavie is and we'll load up Bumblebee ready to hit the road, there we go look at these, wow they look amazing, look at the tread, nice deep tread, look how wide it is, it should last a lot longer, hopefully, well I'm so super happy that we managed to get a new tire because otherwise it would have been a disaster, I mean our flight is very very soon, so I'm super happy about that, bravo, we love you Columbia, muchas gracias, yes it's a new Bumblebee, alright, ciao ciao, cool bananas, that's amazing, I'm so unbelievably happy, as well now the job in Bogota to get a new tire is like, you know, not necessary anymore, the only thing we have to do before the flight now is get Bumblebee cleaned, which we've got the whole day tomorrow to do and the flight is the day after, so no problem, oh I nearly forgot good morning world, welcome back to the channel, it's day number 345 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle, we're here as I said this morning in the town of Armenia in Columbia and today we are gonna try and do our last ride over to Bogota, we have our flight where Bumblebee is gonna be flown over to Panama, Panama city in two days time, oh look this bakery is called Peter Pan and Pan is like bread, I totally get that, that's cool, what is he having there, is this bread or the cheese? I think it's breads, so it's actually just 170 miles but Google Maps says it will take us six hours and 30 minutes, knowing us it will probably take us more like 10 hours, so I don't really know if we get there today but we will try our best, so it's already 9.45 better hit the road let's go, wow I can't believe how good the tire feels, so smooth around corners and just the handling it's really good, it's really good, yeah let's see how long this tire will last for, I'm excited to find out, starting to climb out of the valley now and actually there's two ways from here over to Bogota, you can either stay on this road which is the router 40 and that winds its way up and over the mountains or you can take the longest tunnel in the Americas, so of course we're gonna take this tunnel because that's crazy, it's 8.6 kilometers long, incredible, it's nearly double the second longest tunnel in the Americas which I think is in North America somewhere in the USA but 8.6 kilometers of being in a tunnel, I freaking love tunnels, so we've got a couple of miles of winding roads to climb up and then we'll start the tunnel called La Linha, look at this car, oh cool, how cool nice, that's an amazing car, amazing, is it free, is it free, is it free, is it free, no way, that's incredible, I would say that this is the moto lane, yes I love that all the payages are free for motos in like so many countries, amazing, oh my god we just went through the longest tunnel in the Americas and my front camera totally froze and didn't record anything, such a pity you, I can't believe it and then Lavi checked her camera and her camera had like spun around on the pole, yeah we need to fix something with our cameras because our cameras they really like are on a blink to die but I can tell you it was straight, dark and cold, oh my god, yeah crazy, well I don't know what we managed to record exactly but I'll tell you a little bit about that tunnel, it's 8.6 kilometers long and it was built to bypass the central chain, the central corduera of the Andes Mountains, once it was built it actually cut the transport time by a lot like an hour and a half for trucks and like 40 minutes for light vehicles and apparently it saves the government $50 million a year in like not having to repair the mountain roads or landslides and the more efficiency of the transport, on a long journey as ours is I do appreciate nice tunnels and nice roads, nice constructions I never looked on the road and said like wow that is a nice looking road but since this journey I'm like man I want to ride this road, this road looks nice, here's a cool tunnel you know you really appreciate this genius sea of like road construction, this is a crazy construction, this road between Cali and Bogota, I mean look at it it's just like carved into the mountain with loads of tunnels, yeah I really appreciate that because my leg was really sore after doing so many twisties when you first arrived in Colombia so I'm pretty glad that there's like some some straights at least, what a construction, what a road, love it, look at these beautiful hills and valleys, yeah it's absolutely amazing here, I love the nature so much, Colombia is actually the second most biodiverse country in the world which is absolutely crazy but it's because they've got the Pacific Coast, they've got the Atlantic Coast, they've got the Andes Mountains, they've got the Amazon rainforest, they've got deserts in Colombia as well, how crazy is that they have even a desert, yeah and you can just see when you look around you I mean there's such a variety of different plants and colors and everything you know it's like super crazy, I'm really blown away I didn't really expect that, wow we just ordered a vegetarian rice dish and look at this beautiful thing, wow are we here at MasterChef or somewhere like that looks absolutely awesome, it does it looks really nice and it's like got spices and it smells beautiful because so many times we ordered like rice and veg and they put basically like lettuce and tomato on the side of just plain rice and that's it so this is the first time we've had like a proper dish look at this, yes try it, try it, try it, how is it, it's got flavor in it, nice, it's actually got flavor you know, delicious otherwise it's super crazy because they're building the road outside here and these guys over there they waited probably for like 15 minutes already to pass, they're all going now, they just opened the road and now it's like bam bam bam bam and this is the same direction that we're going so we're gonna be stuck behind all of this after lunch, we were just about to go up the hill and we realized that we've missed our chance, it's like a one-way system at the moment because of the construction and at the moment everybody's coming down so basically we have to now wait for these guys at the bottom of the hill and then we need to be the first to go up the hill so now we have to wait maybe 5-10 minutes more, eventually coming down into a beautiful valley look at this view and we're no longer stuck in any traffic jams which is great and I thought this would be a good opportunity to tell you guys a little bit of our research into this wonderful country Colombia so the area what is Colombia today has actually been home to indigenous people for 14,000 years at least 14,000 years from the archaeological sites they've managed to date it to 12,000 BC so humans have been here for a long time but the Spanish got here in 1499 and Colombia didn't actually get its independence recognized until 1819 and now the country is home to 52 million people and it's the second biggest economy in South America and although Spanish is the national language of the country there are actually 64 other recognized languages indigenous languages and also interestingly there's some islands where English is the national language the islands of San Andreas in the Caribbean they are Colombian but the language is English yeah super interesting country yeah so we still got four hours riding to do to get to Bogota and is currently quarter to one so we're still doing pretty good at the moment there's still a chance that we can make it there today yes fingers crossed hey beautiful awesome cool Lavinole on this what is this bike? Honda clip ah cool gracias, gracias, gracias just having a break at the moment in the shade it is hot here seriously hot nice gracias, gracias so we have three hours to go now to reach Bogota 67 miles so that's a really slow three hours it's like 20 something miles an hour it's still just on track to get that today before sunset but yeah we've got to make a move oh my god it's getting crazy now the bike is registering 40 degrees that's really not funny that's absolutely crazy yeah I could feel that it was really hot but I didn't realize like how hot yeah I didn't realize I mean 30 seems now like like a nice breeze you know yeah but it's like 40 degrees oh my god the air is hot everything's hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hey anyway three hours to get to Bogota yeah let's do it a few moments later looks like Columbia is giving us a final goodbye because it's raining yesterday and the day before was so good okay we're gonna have to stop put our rain jackets on I reckon just stopping here at the side of the highway for our last break we're now an hour and a half from Bogota and it stopped raining which is nice that is nice but yeah it's been some kind of ride so far wow and after so many days on the road in a row my butt is really sore but it's really crazy to think about that this is actually our last ride in South America on one side I'm really sad but on the other side I'm really happy as well South America was a long way I mean we were only at 7,000 miles when we arrived in Brazil right in Rio and now we're at 22 and a half nearly 23,000 miles ahead of a ride hey one more leg to go okay we're definitely getting closer to Bogota now because oh man it's getting a little bit busy let's say we hit some really serious traffic here definitely yeah we are only about 7 miles 6 or 7 miles no even like wait let me see you how many miles we are away we are away 6 miles 6 miles from our accommodation which is basically in the city they estimate it will take us 33 minutes yeah it's gonna be a pretty slow slow slog in this last bit but it's been pretty good but then suddenly it was just like boom you're on this road heading into the city with everyone else man it's absolutely absolutely mental here yeah and a lot of a lot of motorcyclists they're taking like this side bit here but I mean that's like an off-road obstacle course over there I don't know I mean look look at that crazy man I just don't want to get another nail actually in our new tyre this is like my worry yeah I don't think it's a good idea that we come off this road and onto the side there look at it wow look at that hey everyone is like trying to to make it yeah I mean good on these motorcyclists they're doing really well they're really trying wow incredible at least all the motorcyclists are wearing helmets here like a lot of them hey yeah it's true I think they I think it's all right I'm gonna go here yep I don't know if this is buses only or whatever but we'll do it yeah I mean all bikes today everyone's doing it oh my god they're nearly getting squeezed in between two buses oh my lord oh my lordy lord yeah let's go down here yes this is the motor lane and the bicycle lane so whilst we're grinding our way into the outskirts of Bogota I thought I would give you some facts about this city for the city has a population of 8 million people there's also the third highest capital city in the world after La Paz and Quito yeah it lays 2640 meters above sea level it's on like a high plateau called the Bogota Savannah so it's actually much cooler here than it was for most of our ride to Columbia I mean here is now 26 degrees it's pretty crazy to think that at one point today we had 40 degrees actually yeah so it's definitely nicer to be at this altitude than it is to be where we were before the city was actually founded in 1538 and it was made the capital of what was at the time called the Kingdom of New Granada and then it was transferred and became the capital of Columbia when they got their independence in 1819 so it's just one mile to go wow just seven more minutes apparently the tough last mile hey yeah you know I'm just like come on let's get bumblebee there in one piece we've survived so much it's always tricky going into the cities and we always apparently have a reason to ride into nearly every capital city for every country we go through Palacio Real I think that would be their parking then just here oh look a dog hello that dog is too big for that bike oh my lord gracias it's okay okay gracias we made it, happy the life yes we reached Porto oh my god is that nice I didn't think we would be able to make it in as many days as we had but we're here and as well again it's the last room in the last corner of the whole hotel can you believe it yeah we kind of have a city view have a look got like a giant windowsill and we've got some pigeons as neighbors we're going now I'm just getting away it was a short but really intense time here in Colombia and I'm really really sad that we can't spend any more time here because the country looks just amazing yeah it's been a pretty challenging ride to get over to here I have food poisoning we had a flat tire, we had detours, we had landslides it was like everything was trying to stop us from making this flight on this week but we did it so now all we have to do is get Bumblebee cleaned tomorrow and then the day after Bumblebee is taking the plane and we haven't booked our flights yet but maybe we're gonna take the plane as well on the same day yes and that's it from us today we hope
