Well, time for take 2. After last year's ill-fated trip, I rounded up a group of five bikers to embark on "la gran aventura" once again, i.e. ride motorcycles from the United States to Costa Rica. However, as time went by, and for various reasons, several were forced to drop out and now we are two. I will travel with Jurgen Gerner aka "Jogi", a German fellow who runs a successful real estate business in Tamarindo, CR. Jogi is an avid and accomplished motorcyclist who, with my help, bought a Honda XR650L dual-sport bike in California, and will ride it home to add to his collection. He flew into Sacramento last Saturday and stayed with me for several days while he added things to his new machine and we did a little riding to boot. He is now in Modesto, visiting a friend, and I will pick him up en route to LA and Yuma where we will cross into Mexico the day after Easter. Aside from the fact that he speaks three languages fluently, he is an excellent mechanic and a simpatico personality so I am looking forward to our journey together. Jogi also has a tiny notebook computer with him which should make it easier to post blog entries/pictures along the way. ¡Adios mis amigos y les veré en tres semanas!
