Guys, this is looking good so far! As a former KLR owner, and person who still has a soft spot in his heart for KLRs, not to mention the fact that I'm still looking to ride in South America someday, consider me SUBSCRIBED!
Now, just keep in mind that since you've started off so well, you'd better keep this RR updated regularly, and with lots of photos!
Just razzin' you a bit; having written several RRs while in the midst of a trip, I know exactly what it takes to do it, so do what you can and update when possible, and above all, ENJOY YOURSELVES! (I don't think you'll have a problem with that last part though
)
