From Estonia with love (Round the World awesome ADVenture!!) - Page 5

achesley · 07-13-2009, 04:15 AM

I have to agree with the C O L D in the mornings at the higher elevations in Colorado having just got back from there myself. But, the heat at the lower elevations ( Texas and Louisiana come to mind ) is brutal in the afternoons.

Loved the notation of the 440,000 mile R11GS.

Makes my 50,000 miles apiece on my 2 R11**Gs very pale in comparison.

Super fine ride report and pictures. Thanks for the time and work to share your ride with us.

Yep, cold as hell - and humid when it rains

. Lovely scenery tho!

Hank is a decent guy himself too, we spent a good few days together with him in Santiago (

). He's currently over 450 000 miles (720 000 km) with his R1100GS - all engine still stock! He rides it offroad too, he did even Southern-Bolivia (no roads - just trails!) with the same bike. Just plain stunning reliability per this mileage IMO.

Safe travels,

I must apologise in advance. In some ways I'm still oldschool - I didn't buy any digital SLR with me like 99.9% motorcycle travellers nowadays do who seek good photos. So I took my beloved film camera instead since I do love to be different, and personally I love the aspect that the film gives to all the digital boredom that is facing you everywhere you step. This is why you don't see much "bike here - bike there" type of motorcycle travelling shots here - those I keep for our point and shoot cheap digital camera that other threads pictures are made of. Hopefully you'll understand.
