As all Baja riders know, you have to have decals, which Robin has provided and has thus provided the title of this thread. This is the decal that will adorn the bikes and bathroom mirrors all across central america and South America.
Welcome to our tour. This thread will be visited and updated from time to time for the next three or so months as we wander our ride down south. The posts will be interactive with family and friends, and updated by each of us at times for a different writing flavor with the actual "blog" (wtf) being layed on me because I was 2 mins. late for a pre-ride meeting, er, sure I'll do it, I guess. For those not used to my writing, it's best read with your head tilted ot one side or the other to get all the humor, or the attempt at it, though I will try and pay attention to puncuation and spelling there are times when paying attention to where I hammer those two typing fingers with be un-impotent.
Here we go.
After countless hours of preparation (and still counting), over the last many months we are getting closer to the Dec.2 projected date of departure, where we will say Adios amigos.
Two bikes have been prepped by Robin, one for him, one for Al, being a service manager for a certain harley shop (owned by Al)and making wages while doing the wrenching the bikes look well dressed for the trip they look like factory rides, Al's bike is essentially new with almost 60 full km's on it. Floyd's ride, is based on the might is right theory, if that stock size bolt "might" work then this big bolt "will" work, though not as PVC endowed as Mark's bike floyd does have many bags, and really big bolts. Mark's bike has more PVC on it than my house has in it's entire plumbing system, no less than 4 freakin tubes! talk about pvc envy, woe is me.
and me with my measly 2. There is a series of pics showing the removal of the contents of the lower left tube on Marks bike I included only one of the 6 pic. series.
, the contents from which is laid like a log on the floor,
there will be pics of each bike a little later, for now a shot of Marks
and of mine,
lots of reflective things all over the place.
That's it for now more a little later. Chime in and say hello, or just pull up a chair with a three month supply of Cheetos and beer, and enjoy.
