mr.Alberto...I must say you shoot some incredibly beautiful pictures ! Astonishing, really great !

Great pics each and everyone of them...perhaps HU needs to produce two calendars next year!

Ya, Wow! Those are some great shots.
Congrats on the 2 pics.

Thanks to all of you for your feedback

I think I might put together my own calendar for 2014 for friends and family
Cheers
Alberto

Outstanding and well deserved Alberto , we are learning from your skills to up spec our photos just to make better what we have available.

Cheers for some great photos

You guys have some nice photos too! hope you get to continue your ride south and keep sharing your wonderful stories and pics

Thanks Finn! there is no doubt that several of your photos would make it in the HU calendar year after year.... but why not putting out a calendar with your photos only? I would definitely buy one! I will do that with our photos next time and share it with friends and family

Appreciate the heads-up! but HU got the credits right for the photos you mentioned . Naomi took that photo of me on that awesome looking bridge and won a HU's fleece jacket and a T-shirt for it

I know we've had our disagreements over lugguge(my 1 bag was still too full for Nth Africa,ha ha!),
but i cannot complain about your photography,stunning photos and a great report!
Best wishes for 2013 when it arrives,a year where i hope to return to the Americas.....
I'm asking Santa for a new camera!

Awesome RR, Just wondering which tyres you preferred?? The Heidenaus or the Metzlers??

Those are great pictures and congratulations.

No worries... we can agree to disagree regarding luggage. Cheers.

I liked the old Heidenaus K60 because they had a lot more traction on dirt/mud/snow/rocks than the new Heidenau K60 'Scout'... a piece of in my experience (that center band kills any kind of traction) good for pavement only... and VERY light off road IMHO. The Metzeler Sahara Enduro 3 are not good: terrible life (dead @ 8,000 kms / 5,000 miles) and not the best off-road feeling. I wouldn't buy them again.

I have a Shinko 700 on the front now and I am VERY impressed with: life, traction, stability and stickiness on twisty roads. And I paid $39 for it @ Motorcycle Superstore. On the rear, I still have the VeeRubber we put in Argentina... but will be replaced next riding season as it's on its last legs after 18,000 kms / 11,000 miles. Great tyres and surprisingly good on snow :huh

Thanks Mark!

See you are to be the 'star' of Bike Magazine(UK) next month.....plenty of you photos in this months! :)

I have to check that link Alberto if those pics didn't win I must see the ones that did.

Fantastic report!

Hey! thanks

Yep, BIKE Magazine liked our photos very much (August 2013 issue)

Hi Alberto and Naomi - I followed your trip and PMd with you a couple of times while you were on your trip. Some news from my side - I am moving to Victoria this weekend and will now be in your neck of the woods. Let me know if you are on the Island and maybe we could meet for a coffee or go for a ride (road only tho - I changed bikes last year and despite the marketing hype a Multistrada is a road bike only IMO!)

David aka Desmodab, formerly SnowStrom.

PM'ed you

Hi guys,

So proud to report that Bike Magazine chose to interview us for a feature published in their December 2013 magazine. "Adventure: from Canada, through the USA and into South America. Matching kit; matching bikes and matching massive engine failures"

So honoured.

Dam this thread starts with some great pics........ Will keep reading..
