First stop




Found a camping site near Birminghton NY – staying here for the night. Nice and quiet by a river.

First day was cold – had to stop and put the inner linings for my jacket and pants. Got a little rain but nothing major.

Feeling good 🙂

Can’t wait to get to Yellowstone!!

Bye bye Ny!

So my trip has started – going from NY to Sao Paulo, Brazil on my motorcycle!

Crazy? Yes – a little – but it’s the perfect timing.

NY and ITP were great – learned so much and met many interesting people, not to mention some good friends that I had not seen in a while!

So – first day riding – colder than I expected and less cell phone coverage than expected. Right now for example – at a dinner 2 hours north of NY heading towards Woodstock and Platekill Mt where I broke my ankle 12 years ago – just want to see the mountain again 🙂

Will probably stop around 4 pm and find a camping site to sleep.

Going to be alone until I get to LA – my friend who was supposed to come with me from LA could not make it. In LA I will meet up with another friend who will go until SP with me 🙂

Photos and videos to come later.

KTM Adventure 990 installing Scotts Steering Damper

This weekend Marcos and I installed a steering damper for my motorcycle – it is a shock absorber for the steering.

It was a little painful at the start without the correct tools but once we got them it was great… well – apart for my clumsiness – dropped an allen key and another small piece inside the engine, so had to remove both tanks off the bike to look for them 🙁
Great feeling to do work on your own machine though 🙂
 

 




Burning Man

Words are not enough to describe it all.

The photos are not able to capture the energy.

The videos show fragments of the experience.
The few basic rules – have fun, share, don’t litter, let yourself go, and explore!
It is an adult’s playground. 
Spontaneous organization.
All tribes, all kinds, all costumes, all ideals – one community.
Survival conditions brings everyone to a common denominator. 
The benevolence is fantastic.
Negative energy is left behind. 
You can make what you want of it. 
If you want to wake up early, do Yoga, get a massage, bike in the middle of the desert, talk to complete strangers, participate in events, party all night and the next day, and then look at some impressive art work, installations, mutant vehicles and so gigantic sculptures – you can.
All in a days at Burning Man.
