I was on a self guided tour in Ecuador In Febr and in the town of Shell came upon the same situation....no man hole cover.....good reason to not drive at night.....interested in your thoughts on the bike....will contact you soon.....

I will return late November to Lima then on to Huanuco....the plan is to purchase a bike from Toby....the RX-3........which he can get....with a buyback. I am interested in your thoughts on the bike; also the dealer you purchased from in Columbia as I could go that route and try and sell to another inmate back in Columbia....my plan is to attend a Spanish Lesson Class. in Canoa Ecuador for the month of January 2018.

Bob, just PM me if you want to discuss the bike by phone or email. Be glad to tell you what I know about it.. attaching a pic of Toby, his wife Sarah and an Olegeezer (on left) I think you would do well with a purchase and buy back arrangement with Toby.
I hope to pick up my AKT250TT in Jan2018 in Cuzco and continue south.

Pic upside down

I just realized it's upside down because it was taken south of the equator 😁

Back in Peru but a little later than forecast

I stored The AKT here in Cuzco last year with Peru Moto Tours. I had booked a return flight to Cusco in January 2018. I discovered a medical issue that had to be addressed so I canceled the flight. After addressing the issue I am finally back in Peru on October 11. I had to apply for a special permit to leave the bike in Peru last year and then I was delayed. I am now dealing with the aduana in Cusco to get to bike legal to ride again and exit Peru. My plan is to ride south to Bolivia and end up in Santiago, store the moto and fly back home sometime before Christmas. Here’s a pic of my bike storage team at Peru Moto Tours.
She had to have a new battery (Yuasa) and they replaced the front tar and wheel bearings.
Cheers and Happy New Year

Winter plans

Hello Bob,
I plan to return to Cusco, Peru in January. I will be heading south for Chile and Argentina. I am in Germany now for 5 more weeks touring around on my old Yamaha Fazer with a friend from Australia.
Enjoy your ride, post a pic of the new bike and tell Toby and his wife I said hello.
Cheers and ride safe
Joe "Olegeezer"

Thanks Mike, see my previous post to Hickery for my status. I still don't know what to do with this AKT250TT after I Tour on it this winter. I may have to ship it back to the US and tour there with it? There's still a lot to see in South America and it just gives me another reason to return.
Cheers
Joe
