El Guapo

Back on the road and Sam had to go back home this morning. Thanks again Sam. Time is flying and the trail gets better and better.So much has happened in the last week and so many people helped us out. Thanks to Michael at the Hotel Commodore in Linden TN perfect hotel and a great place to relax.The BMW guys in Memphis Tim and Jim thanks for sorting the bike out. Tomorrow we should get close to the Oklahoma border and a new state and maybe we can get a beer with dinner!!!!

Arkansos

Ya hemos reiniciado el viaje dejando atrás Mississipi. Welcome to Arkansas!!! y para los yanquis: "arkasos".
Hoy hemos cruzado grandes extensiones de arroz, maíz, soja, trigo por caminos polvorientos con todo tipo de gravilla, piedras, arena (100 km conduciendo una moto ingobernable). Avionetas sobre volando a ras de suelo los campos y al mismo tiempo fumigando(impresionante!). Pueblos desolados, auténticos parajes de cowboys y con temperaturas que han alcanzado los 42º. Un día agotador con ganas de una buena ducha, una cama y mañana sera otro día de batalla. El tío Sam sigue con nosotros.

Molt d anys Jaumet!!!Me gustaria que algun dia mis sobrinos conocieran este pais y pudiesen experimentar lo mismo que yo.
Hoy Memorial Day (creo que es el dia de los difuntos). Seguimos sin moto ya que todo esta cerrado. Manana despues de hacer 200 km direccion Memphis con la moto en el remolque nos diran el porque de todo. Me ha ido bien descansar pero ya tengo ganas de hacer camino. Super Sam nos ha corregido la ruta, nos ha puesto al dia y va hacer un trozo de camino con nosotros. Creo que no se fia despues del incidente (Paul casi se cae dentro de un rio y rompe el control de gas. Como lo veis?) Cuando cuelgue las fotos ya lo vereis.Un abrazo para todos

Memorial Day

Okay just a brief update,when you see bridge out that means do not cross bridge,but not for me. Anyway i did not get hurt but i smashed the bike and a component called a throttle controller, electronic. As the luck of the Irish would have it my new best friend Sam came to our rescue in the middle of nowhere and rescues us with his trailer. We tried everything to get the bike to run but nothing so we trailed it the next day to the BMW dealer in Memphis. Took a day to get the part and we picked up the bike mid day Friday. We decided to leave from Sam's house the following morning and Sam decided to come along for a bit of the trail( Sam is the guy who discovered this route across America) We got no more that five miles and my bike shit itself sorry it stopped running. Again Super Man Sam to our rescue and again back to his house. We could not get the bike to run so tomorrow Tuesday back up to the dealer and see can he get it fixed. This is a story that i will tell in depth one day but we would have been bollixed if not for our friend. Hopefully tomorrow we will have better news and be on our way to sunny Arkansas.

Stay tuned in folks........
