South America???
Just got back from San Diego. While on a Segway tour we run into a guy from Indiana on a motorcycle. Don't know what make it was but wouldn't have liked touring on one like that. In talking to him, found that he was on his way to South America for the winter. He had gotten his medical shots and was waiting for the paper work. The guy looked ruff as hell and we wished him well. How many of you would want to think of trying this?

Well, we know a Ukrainian woman who is two years into a round-the-world
trip on a KTM dual sport. She overnighted with us here in Albuquerque and
is currently in Peru..

The bike this young women is riding looks a lot like the one the guy from Indiana was on but hers might be a little bigger.

I would do that trip without hesitation if I had the time.
My bike of choice would probably be a v-strom or a wee-strom.
The lady is riding a KTM.

I did the trip from Key West to Ushuaia and back on a V-Strom. That proved to be an excellent choice. Other than normal maintenance, not one problem. Four months and 33,000 miles. An amazing machine. The trip also included the Dalton up to Prudhoe Bay. A great duel sport for sure.

I'd like that ride.
I get photos and updates from Daniel and his girlfriend Joey, friends from Berlin, Germany, who are down there now on BMW's. They're on a fantastic global journey. I met them in 2010 when I lived in Vientiane, Laos, while Daniel was riding a scenic route from Berlin to New Zealand. They're in the Laos Intermission Chapter in my book, Harley Tracks: Across Vietnam to The Wall.
In May 2014, they were riding across America headed to Alaska, while I was on the Run to The Wall; unfortunately our paths didn't cross.
