Awesome report!! Those were some great pics. Very impressive.

Hoooolllllyyyyyy SHIT!!!!

Awesome! How long did it take? Do you have a more detailed thread, perhaps on ADVrider?

This reminds me of the documentary "Long Way Down", with Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. Absolutely awesome show.

definitely impressive!

amazing man, really.

This was a fantastic review....short story. I think you and the WR were the perfect partners. You were good to each other and respected each others limitations and made the most. What a unbelievable open ended adventure. I felt good about my WR before, but now feel even more delighted I have one in the garage. When I do my 30 mile commute to Seattle I will think of you and your wide open view of the world. Thanks for sharing and very safe travels.

Aw man, don't need to post on ADV he can do it here.

Thanks for the wonderful ride report of a trip that most of us will only get to dream about taking!

I've been avoiding this post as I was afraid it would cause a serious case of jealousy... I was right.

Fantastic ride! Hope you get the girl back together sooner than later and get her home!

Thank you for sharing with us your trip!! We would all love to see more of it... I've added a blog post on my site about your ride.. it's just that epic!

Thanks again!!

very cool ride & report.. lotsa cajones for this one. ..glad the wr worked for such an epic ride.. thanks for proving that. I liked the pics.. of course all of us would like the long version, but writing long detailed ride reports is a lot of work, & some people have a life. I'm glad you made it through ok.. some brushes with injury it sounds like, but nothing permanent.

I've often thought a lighter bike would be useful with many of the water crossings you get in the jungle.. you confirmed that.

Thanks again for the great post & pics.

Wow, what a trip, thank you very much for sharing it with all of us here turning green with envy! All the best and please give us more.

ridiculously epic stuff, well done! Should our paths ever cross, drinks on me!

Bravo And thanks for taking the time to write your RR.

It seems to me a bike like the WR would be much more familiar to most people (mechanics) in South America. It does however seem like newer and bigger bikes are making their way down there but your paying big bucks for them (and the repairs). Finding someone to work on the WR should be relatively easy. Parts however is another story. Thanks for posting your trip, its really amazing.

Excellent post....huge respect for taking this trip on.
