Getting Ready

Date of update

This is the first of many entries. So some introduction is required.
SmokeyD is Eric Dahan (Montreal, Canada) and G-Money is Gaby Berelovich (also from Montreal).The nicknames are based on historical events. SmokeyD originated from Eric's perpetual smoke bombs in High School, although presently stands for his significant smoking capabilities. As for my nickname, the G is for Gaby while the Money is for dependability. I'm money baby!

KLR-Mods

Date of update

The first three (almost 4) weeks of our trip have been spent in Los Angeles getting our KLR's ready. It's been a long time. Definitely, doesn't need to take this long. Must be the freedom thing happening. When you get it, you can either choose to slack off most of the day or do something productive. So far slacking has taken priority. Sorry you can't see the smile on my face.
Enough of that though we have gotten some things done and here it is.

Mexico Baby, MEXICO!

Date of update

G-Money Entry - Nov.20, 2005
Long Entry WARNING. You´ve Been warned.
Well, we´re in Mexico, presently in a chill little teenage run internet cafe in Navojoa, south of Hermosillo.
Well here goes.

On Nov. 14th we finally went on our test run to Vegas. The trip actually took place because Smokey´s brother was flying in on the 15th and it was a good idea to see him before the trip. Chances are if it wasn´t for that we would have been way too lazy to go on a test run. Luckily God provided a good reason.

From Long roads to small cobblestones.

Date of update

G-Money Entry. Sorry for the spelling errors in the last blog, had no time to revise.
Possibly a Long Entry Warning.
And I think its Nov 26th.

I´m seating at an internet cafe(without coffe)/general store in Sayulita. I´m about as relaxed as I can be so this entry could be more mellow then it should. Since last entry had to end prematurely, this one will have to go back and finish it off. Here goes!!

Surfing is FUN!

Date of update

G-Money Entry.
Surfing is a way of life Dude!
No not really. Actually its pretty cool and it just gets cooler.
Dec 1 - Sayulita (still)
I think last entry ended with our arrival to Sayulita. That was like a century ago or something.
Anyways, I guess I´ll have to recap.

The Sayulita Crew

Well, that's all the photos for now. Obviously we have tons of photos, but sadly haven't found a way to get them on a computer and this one by one thing is a little tiresome and actually slightly too educational for my present state. Maybe one of these days.

This photo thing isn''t easy. I've only found a way to place one at a time soo here goes nothing and I'll only send out one notification for all of them during this upload.

This photo (UsArriving) is the first one taken upon our arrival to Sayulita. This was after 7 days of hard riding.
As you can see, I'm happy to be alive and Smokey is just Happy!

Fun in Acapulco. Not!

Date of update

G-Money Entry
The title of this entry comes from an old Elvis movie which we are dying to see because it takes place in Acapulco and also has a scene where Elvis cliff dives. We´re staying right next to where all the cliff diving is taking place so I feel some connection to Elvis these days. Nothing major or anything, not like I´m going to start impersonating the guy but its pretty cool.
Anyways, the pòint of the entry´s title is watch the movie and don´t bother with visiting the place. Acapulco is kinda nasty, on a good day. More on Acapulco later.

About Mexico: Part 1

Date of update

G-Money Entry (Although Smokey D is planning on one shortly, I can´t wait).
As for this entry, its part one regarding general Mexican Travel conditions and just general Mexican stuff.First things first. Happy New Year to All.
We spent ours in Acapulco, at a club/bar.
Let me state for the record that the place we were at was by far the most diverse crowd I´ve ever experienced at a New years club party.

We're Okay

Date of update

G-Money Entry.
This entry is only to notify everyone that we are fine. Actually very fine. We're still in Mazunte and this place is out of this world. I need a long ass entry to give it justice, so that will have to wait. Its SUnday damn it and we're chillin, so stop buggin.

But I'd like to get some Bike notes out of the way.

Mazunte = Paradise

Date of update

G-Money Entry
Been a long time so definitely a long entry warning, actually I think it will be in Chapters.
I also want to note that this will be my last entry until Smokey does one. Many of you have been wondering why Smokey hasn’t written. Some of you have even accused me of killing the guy, which is why he hasn’t written. I can assure you that Smokey is alive, although these days a little under the weather. SO until he writes an entry, there won’t be anymore coming from me.

Mazunte (pronounced Masunte) - January 10th and still here.

Happy Georgians

Date of update

Hey everyone,
I haven't written in ages, but i'm now sitting in Georgia, ex-soviet republic, with my brothers and a friend (Duri). Basically, I've brought internet to their neighborhood, and they can't get enough of it.
Now they want to see how stuff is put on the web so why not, right?
Anyways, these guys are great, but I'll be heading back soon.
Don't have time for too much writting, all is well and I'll try to place a photo as well.
Gaby (G-Money)
