Over the last few years we have been travelling in Canada US and Mexico in an RV/ Motorhome. We loved every minute of it, but miss the freedom and comradery that motorcycle travelling gives us!
So, we did a worldwide horizonsunlimited search for a travellers motorbike to buy in South America! The bike we found, the owners could have come from anywhere, but they come from the very same suburb in the very same town we live in! That is amazing, but what really is amazing is that their helmets fit us, jackets, pants and even boots fit us! How easy is that! We will fly to Rio at the end of Sept, pick up "Zora" our 2012 Suzuku VStrom 650, pack our underwear and we are off!
We will be heading north along the Brazillian coastline towards the Amazon River, then into Venezuela (hopefully!) then Colombia, down to Ecuador, Peru and Chile where we will either store the bike or sell her to another traveller in March 2015!

As usual, we love to meet other travellers on the road and encourage knowledge and feedback for the road ahead! This trip will test us physically and mentally... pray for good weather, open borders and no robberies! Yikes, hang onto your hat and come for a ride with us! We will try and do updates from the road, but think wifi might be rare!
Thank you for following us and we hope to meet you all in person again somewhere sometime real soon!
