As soon as the 'music' started I had to turn it off. Besides, I've heard
all about the same trip from my friend. When he finished in Chile he sold
his bike to a Chilean who just reversed the trip on the same Kawasaki!

I sold my bike last summer to a guy that did really minimal restoration work on it.

Finished result.


Now it's on it's way to the Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport NY.

That makes me really feel old!

Still riding an 80's vintage Schwinn though

Pretty rad Paul. I recognized a few places: Zion, Grand Canyon, possibly White Sands NM??
Totally into the beat. Ties in well with his nerdy dance moves.

Hope to see you...no no you BETTER still be in the valley when I get up there dude! ;)

Not a bad way to get around at least when the weather is perfect and everything is good mechanically. Seems to be a unique experience, not many people can say they've seen a huge chunk of the new world in person in a condensed time period.

I dream of doing a large cross country journey, ideally across australia as to not have to deal with border crossings and having to speed through crime ridden zones as quick as two wheels will carry. One tough thing about going through some of these places is the lack of part availability the farther south you go. If something breaks odds are you're gonna learn how to jimmy rig it or your trip certainly wont last a long time. I've been following these peeps as they go to the horn and back so im just a little aware of the risks and challenges.

I've been doing A LOT of touring on the BMW since I got her back on the road this past January and have put almost 7,000 miles on her since. I'm planning on a trip to Alaska next year and ride the Dalton...
