Awesome place to take a leak
Any idea on how fuel so cheap there? |
|
|
Yes its a hard tail. Those fat tires look cool but could sure use more tread on the edge. Its a low siding machine

When the government there tried to raise prices they had a riot. I'm not sure yet if I will go that direction Venezuela is a little sketchy at the moment. |

Glad you're OK. Are you going to patch up your gear with duct tape? I assume you didn't bring a spare jacket, et cetera.

View Quote I might be selling the bike here or in bolivia in which case I will send it home for proper repairs. Otherwise yeah duct tape or have a local throw some patches on it. Should be fairly cheap. |

Wow I'm glad you're ok and its pretty cool that they were able to fix your bike so quick. Looks like you're still having the ride of a lifetime.

Did a run with some local folks from Sacramento, down 49, 108 over the pass ( pic ) up 395 to 4 back over ( and this where my ride ended ).
Some asshat decided to run me into oncoming traffic rather than let me pass, my poor Husky is dead, gone, seriously fucked, it decided it needed to launch an Audi A4 about 3 feet into the air ( this is what I was told, I was sliding down the road and missed it, ) I'm just sore where I landed on my shoulder and me left ankle when my foot contacted the cars bumper. A buddy will be sending me a pic of my bike later. Last ( whole ) pic of my beloved 23,000 mile 610sm ETA, she's dead Jim. |

I'm up there in that shady spot sitting up against the hillside, I hobbled up there as it was pretty warm in the sun, I came to a sliding stop in that ditch about 10 yards short of the shade.

The Speck-Alm (Bacon alpine cabin) at 4600 feet elevation yesterday.
There was a motorcycle GTG at the Wallleralm alpine cabin across. When I took off in Munich around 1000 hours the weather was beautiful, the closer I got to the mountains the more clouds I got. I ended up in rain and hail at 4000 feet but made my way up to the alp. The food there rewarded me for all the bad weather on the way. Smoked ham and bacon, fresh bread and fresh butter. |

Rode to Velocity Cycles this morning, chasing fork seals for the kid's BMW. Spent the mid day observing and offering suggestions as he a and a bud replaced the seals in his 1150GS. For once it's good not to be wrapped up in the project myself. Good times.

I'm tapping out now. I sold my bike after the death road and I'm taking planes and buses to Brazil for the world cup.
Also sorta interesting but I was checking flights out of rio and it's cheaper for me to fly to Europe and then fly home than a one way flight. That being said I will probably spend a month in Germany and Italy after the world cup. Awesome but no bike. |

So glad you're safe. How did the engine perform @ altitude? Have you considered buying a BMW in Germany, riding it a bit, then shipping it home as a used bike?

Some buds and I hit the mountains of GA/NC/TN this past weekend. We skipped The Dragon...been there enough to know to avoid it on the weekends. Lots of better roads in the area anyway. The Cherohala Skyway and the Blue Ridge Pkwy. were nearly deserted, so we were able to rail on those.

View Quote Engine was good it just slowed down quite a bit. I could still get up to 55 uphill. I'm just planning on buses for now and then going on the Dave Ramsey plan when i get back home. Most likely no bike for a few years. |

Awesome mountain ride pics guys.
I rode Sunday morning to the dead flat south east part of MO. It makes me really appreciate living in the Ozarks. |
