Well, the brakes work... Nice location for a pic @Earache!

Colombia 2019. When the borders open, you should go! Friendly people, beautiful scenery, great paved and dirt roads and the mountains!!

Yup all spot on, but You forgot to mention the Strom might not get you a Blow job but riding one makes you eligible to give them out which is worse than receiving in my book

Are you saying that @Grasshopper's Ride's knickers are dirty @Sir Fallsalot? You sick deviant! If you've got a "thing" for dirty underwear then PM @yen_powell! He's got container loads of his old pants......some with skidmarks going back to the 80's as I understand it.

We took a guided tour from EpicoMoto (Ricardo and Alejandro are great peeps!) and his main stable includes several XT660s. He has a BMW 800GS, and some others. But, the trip we took was mostly off road so the Yammy's were perfect! For the ride pictured, our buddy Dennis was in Colombia on his GS, ridden down from California, for a group called Motorrad Angels. Tom Palmer created the group and he decided to retire and ride around the world. To make it even more worthwhile, he delivers water filters to villages, wherever they go. All donations go straight to buying the filters, Tom finances everything else. They've responded to the earthquake in Mexico City a couple of years ago, as well as on Puerto Rico, delivery water filters and solar lights after that hurricane wiped out electricity in most places. He also helps groups set up their own local chapter of the Angels. The last big effort they were involved in was aiding the Venezuelan refugees flooding into Colombia. Ferrying doctors to the border, providing shelter, clean water, shoes and bus trips back to other shelters. If you are of the donating types, your money goes a long way with that group.

My kind of roads Pete, if you explore a bit there are quiet roads to be found.

Did you get his number so you can send him the bill for a new pair of nickers

Living somewhere there arnt any trails to go riding off road might have something to do with it! Not riding if moisture levels are over 22% is another! @XTreme Courtesy phone please, cleaning advice needed! I do take care of my things so they last longer, im still wearing levis i bought in the late 1970's. ??

Well, i survived the bedding in process... The new disc's rock.

.......but it'll always get you home! Unlike a KLR.......which isn't capable of either. Now a fully kitted up Beemer might get you a blowjob......but as for getting you home you just gotta take your chances. @boboneleg's T700 won't get him a blowjob......but it'll definitely get him home! It's a Yamaha after all! However.....@Sir Fallsalot's Africa Twin will definitely do both! Unfortunately the blow job will be from a man! ? Have I called it right?

I think it was the promise of all that sex. He just didnt realize he was a receiver.

I took the scenic route home from work today............

All your boat is going to get you is a dose of the Golden Rivet Bruce!

We're rugged individualists Fred! So none of that malarkey will be going on!

It's super clear and clean - could see the bottom of 20 foot deep pools.

Love that water.

On the bright side i got decals from Deals gap out of the trip.

Deeper water was really green in color....

You'll have to ask him about the time he rode a few thousand miles across the US in order to shoot somebody he'd argued with on Cycle World! Hey......we've all done it!

WHAT? REALLY? Never would have guessed it.... ?

Was trying for some cockpit pics...

A marmot....

Mas fotos.....

Have I ever mentioned that @Tym's unstable Michelle?

Took lots of "here's my bike in front of a mountain" pics...

Up and over a few small hills....

Today's ride to Lake MacDonald...

The ditch with no massive wheels rolling over you would have been the correct side to fall onto

Always the voice of reason @Pedro ? I was going to say something, but some people need to learn the hard way... ?

I hate to be the voice of reason but someone has to. Water splashing onto an plugged powertool!

He was so spooked by the cyclist that he must have been eating a sandwich or something, for sure not paying attention. I was happy that I managed to pull over and not fall into the ditch beside me. I even put the bike into neutral without knowing I did. ?

Today in Wiltshire.............

The last couple of stops when i was bedding in the brakes were pretty cool, i was getting chirps from the tyres that never chirped before...

Dinners tonight. I had a boring burger, so no pics of fhat. Thesae are: 1 - Elk meat suasages, cole slaw,mac and cheese 2 - grilled salmon steak and collared greens 3 - Pulled pork and mac and cheese

With plenty of free on street parking. Cool cowgirl sign...

They have a cool, 1800's vibe going on here...

We finally make it to Kalispell and our home for next few days. Located in the town center so easy access to bars, food, etc....

And some more abandoned homes....

...and the occasional canyon would pop up. Rail the twisties for about 10 turns and then back to strauight for 100 miles..

A few hills would pop up here and there as we blasted across the State. They were a welcome sight from the flatlands...

But I now have soemthing no one else here has - a pic of bike next to a nuke sub's conning tower. I know you're jealous.

Day off thge bikes today, so I can catch up. Yesterday was brutal - 600 miles with temps of 107 (42C) across Idaho. Most of southern Idaho is a vast wasteland of nothingness - just scrub bushes and long stmraight roads. Kept the speeds at about 90 mph as fuel economy really suffers above that and gas stops are few and far between...

All boots can be fixed with duct tape except those Harley ones the oil on them will stop it from sticking

The best boot is one that can be fixed with duct tape
