Ride safe. Travel far. Do it soon.

My 20 minute ride accidentally lasted 6 hours :)

It’s been a long time since my last YouTube video upload.  To all 4 of my die hard fans I apologize, I’m going to do better.  Last week after 7 months of fighting with customs, and police in Panama I finally got my KLR650 imported to the country and legal to ride on the road.

I had been working on a video while the bike was on ice, and now that I could ride it decided to take it for a ride and get a few more shots for the video.  Then I planned to run home and upload it.  I planned to be out for 20-30 minutes, but I was so happy to be riding I just kept going.  From Las Olas beach, to Volcan Baru. My 30 minute ride stretched into 6 hours.

I ended up with a wicked sunburn on my gloveless hands, but I was wearing a jacket and helmet, which is more safety gear than most riders I see in Panama.

The video I was working on was bumped back a day.  But here are a few more pictures of from my ride.

I’ll be posting a short video later today.
