	50000 miles in South America
Smellybiker Joined: Mar 18, 2007	Hi all - i guess I'd better introduce myself. I'm a Brit, now in the fourth year of my 'one year ride around the world' and completely addicted to motorcycles. I've been riding around South America for the last three years and finally crossed into Central America this month, 50000 miles so far and still going strong. My trusty steed is a F650GS Dakar, I'd originally planned to ride one-up but met this girl in Peru & now we're two. Despite being horribly overloaded its serving well.

We're still in Canada but heading down in Seattle in the next few days, hoping that the USA will let us back in. Just had word from a freind who runs a beemer garage in Tuson who tells me that Kevin Saunders is with him now with the group that he's touring down to Ushuaia this year, so there's a chance you'll cross paths en-route South. I'm pretty sure that Kevin's tour goes via Cusco etc. Love to Angy. talk soon.

Hi all - i guess I'd better introduce myself.

I'm a Brit, now in the fourth year of my 'one year ride around the world' and completely addicted to motorcycles.

I've been riding around South America for the last three years and *finally* crossed into Central America this month, 50000 miles so far and still going strong.

My trusty steed is a F650GS Dakar, I'd originally planned to ride one-up but met this girl in Peru & now we're two. Despite being horribly overloaded its serving well.

More info on my ride can be found on http://www.smellybiker.com & if anyone has questions feel free to ask.

Fellow Brit, expatted to Seattle and planning a jaunt down south before they realise I should be sent home. I'll be checking out your blog and may well try and touch base (bloody americanisms sneeking in) at some point. Let me know if you get up the Pac NW.

All the best

'...oi smelly' where are you?

Hey Bobito

Where the bloody hell are you? When do you think you'll be back in Arequipa?

We're still in Canada but heading down in Seattle in the next few days, hoping that the USA will let us back in.

Just had word from a freind who runs a beemer garage in Tuson who tells me that Kevin Saunders is with him now with the group that he's touring down to Ushuaia this year, so there's a chance you'll cross paths en-route South. I'm pretty sure that Kevin's tour goes via Cusco etc.

Smelly, on your path, do you plan any diversions up the Pac NW this year, as I'm sure I could do with picking your brain on several issues.

I'd be able to put you up, and even offer a bar of soap...here just on the Canadian side of Seattle.
