Olegeezer riding for Peru from Colombia

That's me.. Green with envy

Dispose of or store your bike... I'm curious as to how that's going to work out. Upon entry to all countries doesn't the bike get recorded in your passport?

You are correct F2! I may have to give it up for parts value?
It is a problem I have to figure out. Another reason to come back.?

I bought gas twice like this today on the scary (for me) road from Chachapoyas to Celendin. It was very twisty and narrow. A one lane road for 240km. I met a truck in a curve and he had to stop and back up for me. Lucky we were both going slow! The very high and steep slopes and no guard rail had me a tad puckered. 😫 The good news, it was all paved. It took me 7 hours.

The views from the top are great.

Great pics. Especially the horse behind the wicker fence. Jeez... the amount of work that went into that only to have to start over in a year or two after it rots!

The Rx3 is also popular in Chile and Argentina. Perhaps you can sell it there? In Chile it's imported by Derco Motors and I believe it's called RX3. In Argentina it's branded Corven... called Triax Touring 250.

How's your stomach? I remember one medication I had to take for 3 days. The other for 10 days and a follow up pill on the 20th day.
Alcohol is strictly forbidden with Metronidazol. Can be serious/dangerous.

I just returned from picking up my Harley at the dealership. My parked bike had been knocked over and the front wheel driven over by a school bus, bending the fork and causing other misc damage. I left the dealership and a few blocks away I heard a lot of rattling. A few minutes later I drove over the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan then pulled over. The front brake caliper was free floating on the disk and the 2 bolts which hold the caliper to the fork were missing.
Up pulls up a guy with a big Harley decal on the window of his car to offer assistance. It turns out to be an employee of said dealership who happens to have one bolt and pliers. WTF! What are the chances? lol. I almost didn't make it home driving 5 mph to write this message. lol How's that for an adventure?

At least your safe and sound. Be careful up there in wild new York city. It's a jungle, as much as South America

You're right! As I was standing at the curb I saw about a dozen Amazon women walk past me. I had pulled over right in front of the famous Scores Gentlemen's Club and their shift was about to start. Had I had clarity of mind I would've realized that was a "sign" and would've stayed to warm up and enjoy a beer or two.

They sell the RX3 in Peru also, same as my AKT from Colombia.
Yes your Harley story sounds like an adventure to me. Good luck on recovering you loss.
My stomach is still acting up but not enough to stop me at this point.

I like the boots and helmet!

My ride today was only 100km. It was on a new two lane that was as good or better than any curvy road in the US. Yesterday's ride was much more difficult.
Today I came upon two donkeys with metal milk containers , 2 each, saddled up.
They were walking down a curvy road. What was unusual was that there was no human driver near them? I wondered if they were trained to do this alone? I should have stopped for a pic. Another missed opportunity.
