In celebration of Jim's 1st half-century, he and I will be shipping our KTM 990 Adventures to South America where we will spend a couple weeks chasing the Dakar Rally then spend another few weeks just goofing off and riding.
We have purchased bikes, Jim a 2010 990 Adventure R and I a 2007 990 Adventure S. We acquired almost all our riding gear and equipment, bags, fuel cells, GPSs. We have done gobs of bike mods like flapectomies, SASectomies, canisterectormies, BlackDog skid plates, air filter mods, luggage systems, supplemental power outlets... I'll try to make a blog that lists all the mods at another time (If someone requests it I'll do one sooner.)
Dates are firm. We have plane reservations that depart the US on 27Dec2011 and return to the US on 10Feb2012. We are flying in and out of Santiago, Chile. I have a college classmate who has agreed to help us get the bikes into and out of Chile. It's very nice to have some local help.
Now the devil is in the details.
