Us in the U.S.

 Edson did some work on my bike in Texas.  We were glad to get back on the road after a 5 day stop over.

 We zoomed through Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi on interstate highways all the way.  The roads were excellent and easy to travel.  Flat and straight in our sights all day.  Take note of my new riding boots.  My other ones had a blow out.

 We visited Graceland in Memphis Tennesee.  This interstate offered more relaxed riding with some nice scenery.  So nice to see trees again.

 This is the Blue Ridge Parkway, an awesome road with excellent views of the mountains.  The scenery is stunning and there is no commerical traffic so the ride was excellent.  Check out the flowers below that lined the road and look-off stops.

 Cody Cook is my new mechanic.  He will get us back on the road in no time.

Today Wed June 15 we took a one bike tour through the mountains and hills of three states.  North Carolina, Virgina and Tennessee, beautiful country.

From there to here

Mexico offered us several days of excellent travel.  The weather was stinking hot and sunny. The roads were great, good black top, straight stretches with soft curves for the most part.  I love to ride in Mexico.

Brownsville Texas is stinking hot too, can't comment on the roads because we have been held up for repairs for 5 days.  My moto crawled here with a push and a shove.  The mechanic was shocked at the state of the chain and sprokets and advised me not to go any further until they were replaced.  I had to agree since I heard the chain rattling for the last 10 km.  All I asked from my KLR was to make it over the bridge to the USA so I could get it some loving care.  Brownsville is a nice, quiet Texas town with a mechanic less than 10 km from the border.  Many thanks to the border crossing official who found the dealer on the web and gave us directions to the shop.  Kudos to the mechanics working on our motos too.

I told Tim not to get too close to that reptile!
