Hey Richard. somebody sent me this link, but didn't have the balls to post it. I do however. They suggested you may need some of this:

But but but... I did post it! Wanker! :)

Though... I wasn't suggesting Ard needed it. Ha
 
Me thinks you need to check the dates/times of the two postings. ;D

You apology is accepted in advance. 8)
 
Well Fuck.
I'm out.
Going dual sport riding/vacationing in Costa Rica the 10-20th. Tried to plan around the thaw but it just didn't happen :/

So who wants to buy my cabin spot at a discount!? Haha

I'm trying to figure out my budget, if I can commit to actually getting there, i'll buy it.

Damn, I hate that.. Was looking forward to meeting you in person.
However dual sport riding in Costa Rica sound pretty fucking awesome. Hmmmm, wonder if its too late for Logan to change the location of the thaw and we could all just tag along with you?

Seriously man sorry you won't be there, I was looking forward to pretending to get into a fistfight with you. See you next time.
 
Thanks guys,
I am actually really bummed about it. I really wanted to make it up there and hang out with all of you folks, and rich who the hell said it would be pretend? ??? ;D

The way the trip fell that was just the only time I could go between my furniture shows.
 
I'm looking at a chance to go for some riding in Ecuador with a friend who just moved there. But he's coming back to ride with me to the Thaw, so there you go! Will go to Ecuador next winter and make you all jealous.
 
Well, the plan would be to fly to Ecuador, then ride ;)

Riding to Ecuador would involve

Mexico
Guatemala
Honduras
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
Panama
Columbia

I think I'd just as soon fly over all of that rather than deal with the incredible amount of red-tape that would likely be involved in crossing that many borders, as well as the copious number of Amercan $50's it would take to smooth the way along.

$100 a day rents a KLR650, and round-trip airfare is $700 all in. Way cheaper than riding there and back.

You'd be surprised how smoothly it seems to go.
Read some of the crazy trip reports on ADV rider, those guys go from here to chile and back on dual sports. They are insane
 
My wife's cousin is doing this right now. He is doing it over 1-2 years. I don't know what kind of bike he is on, some kind of enduro style. He travels a bit, then stops and gets a job teaching English for a bit to make some money in order to travel some more. I think he might be in Chile now.
