I left Mazatlan this morning when it was already warm and humid, the road started to climb up to the mountains towards Tepic, and the air was cool and fresh. After two hours I reached Tepic, I arrived  at noon but the temperature was comfortable and the wind cool. As you leave the...

I made almost 900 Km after 12 hours and arrived to Mazatlan in the pacific; the bike rode perfect. Looks like the problem was detected and fixed properly, however I have learn that you can not underestimate a ride in the desert. Both the Arizona from close to Las Vegas to Nogales and the...

Frank helped me with advise and the spare part (fan) and Luis with all the support in his shop plus the personal coaching. None of them wanted any payment for goods or services, I have no words to express my gratitude to this guys, I owe them big time and I'll made a contribution to UNCIEF in their...

The good news is that today I disassembled the fan from the bike and looks that the bearings are broken, all indicates the problem is there. The bad news is that there is no spare part close or that can be tracked, I order one coming from California that we'll be here on Tuesday, my concern in...

  Unfortunately the bike broke today 84 km from Hermosillo in the middle of the desert, it died on me and I found a fuse burnt but after I changed it, it blew again.   I put my emergency triangle that lasted minutes before a truck run over it (sorry, the Internet is slow and...

  The internet is not working well and I can´t use my computer, no pics today ....first thanks to Ramon and Alberto (not THAT Alberto) from the Hotel  that help me to keep my bike safe!!! After Phoenix I head to Tucson and change oil and filter in the BMW dealer (next is tapachula but...

I made it up to Phoenix yesterday after 930 Km riding; I targeted Flagstag originally but the weather was nice and I felt fine to keep going.. A friend from there offered me his house but I was not sure to get there and I end up in a hotel (thanks again John and keep the...

  I have to recognize that the first day (yesterday) was difficult....the departure/storm/new bike adaptation, etc piled up, to put things down a little bit. Today things became more normal....I dress for the rain and the sun never left me, and I finish the riding with more than 30 Celsius...

  I knew that I was suppose to be careful with animals and I cross the first one....in Calgary...a horse run out of control and cross the street, stampede time. I finally made it to Butte …..lots of rain after crossing to Montana, I had a pretty severe storm of rain and almost run out of...

  The bike is  ready and I'm ready too. All is packed since yesterday night, it took in a while to get to the maximum 15 Kg per box; I’ll be throwing stuff away during the trip once I feel more in control (uncertainty is weight in a motorcycle!). All the concerns pops out now, do I...
