DAKAR, and the ride to Colombia - Page 2

YOGOI · 06-14-2011, 08:18 AM

Our stay at Siberia was exactly what we needed. The ladies there ran a small restraunt and rented rooms. They warmed us up with some coffee, and then helped drag all our soggy and muddy gear to our room. I had to fight one lady to let me carry the heavy luggage. We fire up the big gas heater in our room and hang all our belongings all over the room to dry.

The room next to us has a German couple that road in on the GS 650 and African Twin. They were there the night before and tried to leave in the rain, but quickly turned around and stayed a second night. We had a good night sharing stories with them, and headed out together the next sunny morning.

WE DID!!!!!!! ...and so the story begins.

That's the beauty of the motorcycle community. I had a guy
from Australia send me $14,000 for a FJR he was planning
on riding in the States. Never met, never talked on the phone,
simply from an FJR website. His bike is still sitting in my warehouse
waiting for his return trip.

Yogoi those are some really nice trip shots! Thanks for sharing.
