Trouble in Panama - Spencer Conway | Answering Tough Motorcycle Tire Questions
Caught Up in a Criminal Sting - with Spencer Conway
Spencer Conway and Cathy Nel are on a circumnavigation of Central America, then the USA and Canada. They recently flew their motorcycle from Bogata into Panama. This is Spencers 127th country on the same bike, and by now Spencer and Cathy are well accustomed to dealing with importing their motorcycle and with border crossings in general. And although they had all the necessary paperwork in order, and they thought everything was going as expected, there was one thing they didn’t bargain for - and that was to be caught up in a major criminal sting.
