It turns out there is an update of the book now. It includes new stories based on Tibbetts' diary, which was recently found. Among them, when the Flying Flea became a bit too battered to continue, when he reached Lake Nicaragua, he took out the engine from it, mounted it on a dugout boat and made it across the lake. He was even arrested for a few hours for being a suspected spy!
He wrote to Royal Enfield to see if they could support the continuation of his trip, but the company declined.
