Giving out some soccer balls to rad little kids in Colombia

I had a great time exploring the outer islands north of Cartagena. Hernando, the owner of Iguana 4x4 took me on a great tour. They prepared us a fresh fish lunch- awesome

Another shot of the progress, the doors and trim coming off

The full repaint is in process at Mastodon in Colorado. They are going the extra mile and have been sending me regular updates on the progress. Pretty exciting.

Interacting with the locals is always one of the great pleasures of travel. This little dude was checking out the GS at a lunch spot and I walked out to say hello. At first he thought I was upset he was need the bike, but I reassured him it was ok and invited him to hop into the riders seat. His...

Here is my steed for the next five weeks, a 2016 BMW GS 1200 that I was able to rent from Elephant Moto in Bogota. I brought down a 40mm bar riser set from Black Dog CW and some luggage from Enduristan, but otherwise, the bike is essentially stock. The tires are a slightly more aggressive street...

Curious. . . they seem to be loading ok for me. Anyone else having an issue?

Made it to Bucaramanga in central Colombia. A beautiful ride with a ton of traffic. My front wheel dropped into a flooded gate in the road and by some miracle I kept the bike upright even as the rear tire lofted and spun momentarily. No damage to the rim likely because I was at full pressure...

Great work Dan! Exciting to watch your progress and follow your adventure

My machine for the next month or so. Even though these are big bikes, they feel so comfortable for me in the developing world. The safety of ABS, traction control, agile handling, power (passing) and general presence (size) all help. I will be with the guys from Expedition 65 for the first half...

I just arrived in Bogota and picked up the 1200 GS from my buddy Micho at Elephant. Spending the day packing and inspecting the bike, installing some 40mm bar risers and a tank bag for my camera. Over the past week I have been documenting the gear I will use for nearly six weeks and about...

Incredible story. And so many people just waste away on the couch. . .

The rear window gullwings are from Front Runner Outfitters in CA. You can get them in solid aluminum or smoked glass.

Coming along! Love the white

yeah, find a 95-96 G320 463. Best vehicle I have ever owned.

These things have been unobtanium. Just a little public service announcement for those who care about such obscure Land Rover / Camel Trophy geekiness. . . $49 too, which seems almost free. http://www.roversnorth.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=RTC9659

I do like the idea of cleaning up those extra systems and ECUs that can draw power of create other issues.

Thank you- I will try that out.

I stripped the G down a bit in anticipation of the repaint at Mastodon. Naked G. . . I did get a chance to prove-out my interior sleeping configuration. It is perfect. The canyoneering was worth it too

Has anyone figured out the proper way to disable the yellow dash light for the 1995 RRC ESA? I am not interested in putting electrical tape over it, etc. Is there an override module available? Best practice? There has been some discussion about removing all of the relays and modules, but...
