klaus Hi mate, called to see you couple of times before you left but no one home and no use texting you!
Have a wonderful and safe trip!
I will keep up with the adventure via this site so please post any interesting events.
lots of love, pat.
Adventure interuptous Hey Rosco, it all part of the adventure, (although unfortunately it is shorted for some) and makes more stories at the end ay. Taking notes for next year. Think i will renew my first aid cert just in case. can we up grade to a 4wd vehile? lol Loves Tigger
Dreams! So good to see you at the Rock Tree! Now we can take the BMW promo poser pic off the toilet wall, and put YOU there!! Finally!!!
Love the photos of the lads - was the one of Greg taken just before he danced on the table, or just after? Or is he just altituded out??? Hang in there Greg - it's just a birthday!!
Need comments from the rest of the boyz!!
These blogs are the way to go!
Keep at it - you're at the halfway mark! Make the most of the massages!
Beamer is sort of OK Hey Stuart, the only damage to Charlies bike is the inlet to the fuel injector, must have thrown a rock at it as it is fairly tucked away. Chance of finding a replacement here is zero. Cheers, Rosco
Please survive your trip of a lifetime! My most exotic motorcycle trip was to New Zealand (I'm from Texas). Volcanos, single track roads, bridges that serve cars and trains in the same lane...how exciting!
Rosco, I am jealous of you and your friends on this great adventure.
I love you, my friend. But you are nuts! I expect you will fly home with only the clothes on your back - having trashed everything else. Ha!
charlie Charlie....yer a nightmare!!!was the bike ok?you prob need to get rid of that overweight tank of a thing and get a KLR or similar.
ok, hope you get better soon and the nurses are hot.You pro need a good bed-bath.
Guess that's the end of the trip for you?and don't try and use the broken leg as an excuse not to go offshore.You should sell the beemer there!
later
Stuart
Hello Gerardo Luckily I havb't seen your name mentioned in none of the accidents that have happened look after yourself and have a good time and get back in one piece.
Regards
what an adventure have just logged on to your blog for first time - wow and wow again. What an adventure. Glad to not see your name on the casualty list Greg - well done. I'm at home with a broken leg (horse kick) but I'd rather be here with it than there. Will be following your travels more closely from now on. all the best
Allez Boys Saluti Tom, du Bolivianer. Ech un keng loscht dech, mat engem Suchtrup sichen ze kommen. Loos dei aal menner hannert der an geff GAAAAAASSSSSSS!!
bis dann!!
Where's the chase nurse What a gang! You know sailors used to think it was bad luck to take women on their ships, but I think that's exactly what's missing on this mission. Some positive female carma. Just a hint for the next trip, have a nurse in the chase truck. Short white mini dress maybe with suspenders, that will do instead of a lot of expensive medicine. How's the llama (or alpaca, or vucuna) anyway?
Toodles, Nadine
hola amigos hola rosco,
esta muy interesante. gracias! donde estas ahora?
we hope you guys have heaps of fun. but in your blog it really sounds like you have... :o)
i'm still jealous and hope i can explore south america with you the next time.
have fun and enjoy your time over there. and keep us updated.
Bloddy Hell Tom, what are you doing??? Hi guys, this is normally a vacation, not a road to hell tour. We need Tom back on the shift in 1 peace. So take it easy out there. Good luck to everybody!!!!
well done enjoying the great reading Rosco
what an adventure. Keep up that kiwi can do attitude
Hows String coping?
weather in the far north is fab tasic
stay hard
hard trip i have not suggested, that your trip is going to be so hard as it is shown in the blog. Just want to say Hello and Good Luck to all tough guys in this adventure from the whole Topspeed Team
Michael and Keith Sounds like fun you guys - I bet you are glad you opted for the smaller bikes - haven't heard much about you Keith - I guess you haven't had an off yet!
How's your leg Michael - remember to fall off on the right side if you are going to!
Sounds like it is nothing like our Aussy adventures - maybe you should call and see a travel agent on the way to plan a "recovery holiday" for when you return.
Look forward to hearing how you go tomorrow
Best wishes to Alec and we hope he will be okay and can meet up with the team shortly. It is good to Stringy hasn't lost his influence on the weather, although I am sure everyone on the trip wishes he had! If you had a decent 4WD I am sure you wouldn't have the same problems - Land Rover Defenders are built for all kinds terrain. Our thoughts are with you. Bugsy
What a challenging time you are having with lots of surprises! Very sorry to hear about Alec, but I am sure he will be up and about and ready to meet you in Cuzco. Keep safe all of you!
Sympathy for Alec! We all feel for poor Alec - at least he's able to rest up........
Well, you were all chasing Adventure, weren't you??? Having enough???
Rosco! TURN YOUR SPELLCHECK ON!! I know you're dog tired, and your proof reader is far far away, but a few more misplaced letters and it'll be just like trying to read Spanish!
Seriously, you looked great on Skype, and you don't seem that far away when we can talk like you're just upstairs!
Love, Bones xxxxx
Tough going Hi, I'm really pleased to hear that Alec is ok and may be able to rejoin you later in the trip. Mike texted me yesterday to say Alec had had a tumble and possibly had broken some ribs so it's nice to get the update. Thank God there are so many of you and you have a good support team. It sounds as if the conditions have been appalling and the photos certainly show that. Take it easy for the next few days and hopefully the conditions will improve. Vicki
I organise Rosco's Rocky Road Adventures,on motorcycles to Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. We ship dual purpose motocycles in a container from New Zealand to Chile and ride from there.
We are now doing adventure rides North to Alaska during August. Shipping YOUR motorcycle from NZ to Vancouver and home again after your adventure.... full info
