Is that your rental bike in the background? Luna would be jealous!
No sir. The way I pack a KLR for travel here leaves no room for a medium-maintenance pillion. Renting a GS1200 would be cost prohibitive. And, I have some purchasing to do so we rented a car with a trunk. Harder to find than a wagon or suv but a lockable trunk is mandatory for me. Hopefully we find all we need and fill it up a few times.
7 hours, 2 ceramic crowns and a couple of root canals later my orthodontist looked at me and said 'you will have no more pain'! Finally! My wisdom teeth impacted and cracked my molars when I was a teenager. At 22 I had them removed but the damage was done. It took me another 10 years to pay off loans my own parents took out in my name when I was 14. At 32 I sold a business, bought a Connie, traveled and researched my dental options. Refusing to pay into the insurance scam dental plans stateside I started coming to Ecuador to repair my teeth. $30k estimates in the states = $7k here. Bone implants, titanium rod implants, porcelain and ceramic implants and crowns. Constant pain for 25 years is now behind me. They managed to complete the last three sessions in one day yesterday, no pain, no pain pills, no drooling - and I am eating every crunchy thing I see! I am missing 3 molars still - but the cake is done - can add cherries later:-) Ended up lovong it here so much I acquired an export license to the States and opened a motorcycle tour company in Peru. My shops in TN run better without me:-/ Last Jan - 2016 - I gave my moto tour company to a church - it was amazing fun but redundancy killed me - and I don't think Ewa was cool with my sand-floor bamboo house on the beach lol

Dave - here's the new 250 - $2700 out the door with tag, title, helmet and a tank of gas

The 400 is eluding me - but I'll keep looking


Here are some pics just 'cuz

The Panecillo - made from stainless tiles, welded and bolted together. She stands on a serpent she has by a chain and watches over the 500+ year old churches below

Here she is from a distance
