If I was back home and had the time, I could just wait until I found the right buyer. But I was in Cusco, traveling, on vacation, and I ... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/25/the-end-of-the-ride/ Lima, Peru... it's far, far away! The road to Nasca and the Nasca lines... we we're in a very small plane just a week after the crash... didn't bother us after surviving 100's of attempts on our lives by drivers in 9 nations The road from ... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/22/pretty-pictures/ After a nice day of relaxing Sunday, Roar and I hit the streets to sell our bikes on Monday. We checked a couple of motorcycle rental shops with some interest but no real hits. I bought a marker and some paper and we put "se vende" signs on our bikes. We returned to Plaza de ... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/22/still-in-cuszo/ Yep, we made it to Cusco. Kind of sad that the trip will be ending soon. More on that later. The Pan America highway south of Lima is a nice and fast divided four lane highway that lasts about 100 kilometers. Sure enough, the desert started again right away and the ... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/20/nazca-lines-and-the-road-to-cusco/ We've reached Cusco after some of the absolute best riding on this trip! The road from Nasca to Cusco is absolutely fantastic and I will post more photos later. We're doing all right and after riding almost 9000 miles we're ready for 9000 more down to Ushuaia and back... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/19/this-is-the-end-the-only-end-my-friend/ It took us three days to get to Lima from the border with Ecuador. We stayed in Piura and Huanchaco before arriving in Lima in the evening on Monday. The riding was fast and easy on well maintained, straight for the most part, highways. We made excellent time but I did ... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/16/lima-and-the-latest-plan/ We're in Peru at last... almost 8000 miles of riding and we crossed the border today. This was the weirdest border yet and some money changers gave us fake Peruvian bills... bastards! A lesson learned and not too much money lost. We saw the pacific again... can't remember when we ... http://www.roarware.com/southamerica/2008/04/12/peru/
