Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

Having had a great evening with Dick and Diana's Friends Pete and Danelle. It was time for a motorcycle ride to the furthest points of the North Island of NZ. Pete (America) and Danelle (Canadian) are also motorcyclists!! We ride up to Cape Reinga which is the most...

Riding North! in the North Island Picked up my Bike on Friday afternoon from Experience BMW in Auckland. They were great in getting my Shock rebuilt and my service done. Sebastian Elter is the service Manager and was great! He even got my Steering head bearings and...

Auckland. A few more bits of information on getting set up to ride. I purchased Liability insurance for my motorcycle through NAC insurance 800 501-508 Other insurance companies did not want to cover international driver or for only the full year. 3 months was $110USD...

The process was easy picking my bike up from the importer. Just had to pay the fees. $750 NZD and put my front wheel on, and then my hard bags. The total cost to ship my bike was just under $2,100 USd from Buenos Aires. Since I will be in NZ awhile, it will be worth...

New Adventure has started!! Finally getting a chance to update my Ride report! Chris from the UK sent me this photo of riding in Downtown Buenos Aires for the last time on the way to the Airport and shipping. Was an interesting and slightly emotional ride, as I...

Glad we resolved the metric issue Been really busy on my time at "home". But it has been some exciting stuff happening as I transition my ride to New Zealand. Received my Carnet, and several packages of new gear including a new Go pro 3 and camera. So I have been...

Back in the USA. Flew of Buenos Aires. Night Flight. 9 Hours to Houston. Then transfer to PDX. Strange being on United Airlines as the cabin crew is all speaking English. No more greetings like in Argentina. Kiss, Kiss, No Buen Dia, Gracias etc. Will miss it!! Long...

My last night in Buenos Aires and Argentina, was spent with SlowPhil, his wife Jan, Claudio and Natalia, and Ma Jo took in another Tango show. Including a few minutes of lessons so you know how hard it is to learn Last Tango in Argentina for me! Wonderful evening to...

And the end of my time in South America And the end of my time in South America is now here. As I have talked about there have been lots of logistics in planning and then moving to a totally different place. Setting up the air freight (first time for me to do this),...

Thanks for all the kind comments, and sharing in my journey. It is all part of my life experiences as I take in this adventure. I am in Buenos Aires. Today is a new day, and we will see what unfolds today! In between working on cleaning the bike, also taking time to...
