Arquivo da categoria: Motorcycle – NY to SP
Us 101
The road apparently doesn’t exist anymore but the beaches are still here – beautifull and good waves 🙂
Still in LA
Delayed start but defintely leaving today 🙂
Here we go!!!
Exciting day today – going to cross the border and leave the US – going into Mexico today.
We decided… well… we didn’t have time to plan our route exactly so we’re going to plan in en route – will give us something to do at night 🙂
We got a device called SPOT that will be broadcasting our location constantly.
I created a little program that grabs that data and plots it on a MAP – the link on the top right of the blog will also take you there… You can see the points/route I’ve done so far from NY. Added the red line for better effect 🙂
Off we go!!
Equipment on the bike
Here’s a quick video that shows all the “junk” that I am taking with me on the bike 🙂
Almost ready
Last minute details like cash, insurance for Mexico (required),
batteries, and tire pressure.
Departing for mexico tomorrow 🙂
New tires and Malibu Canyon Road
Now I understand why Marc thought riding in NY was boring. Thanks Marcos in insisting that I check that road out 🙂
Trip Route
Probably one of the most asked questions – what is the route?
So here it is… a tentative one at least.
Marc and I should be sitting down today and figuring out in more detail where we are going to stop each day with the help of some guide books we got – on the bottom of the spreadsheet you will find a tab with MAP where you can see the route on a map 🙂
Show
Ting playing – saw Santo Gold before this. Interesting 🙂
Bike almost done
Long day waiting for the tune up – been here since 10am – now 4:30 🙁
All good since the bike has no issues appart from the usual wear and
tear 🙂
I would like to thank the guys at Thousand Oaks Yamaha for being so speedy and attentive to details on my bike – performing a major tune up in one day!! Thanks guys!
