Hi, I am 73, traveling from Veracruz, Mexico, to Tierra del Fuego on a Honda 125. Entering Panama from Costa Rica on the Atlantic coast you must cross two scary bridges. The second is very dangerous and about 200 meters long. No safety netting on right side, safety rails bent, planks across sleepers loose or missing. When wet, slippery as a greased pole. See photographs on my blog www.simongandolfi.blogspot.com
Many local bikers have broken limbs as have two foreigners recently. I fell inward. Tuck drivers lifted me and my bike into a truck, taking me on to Almirante.
