JumpingJackFlash

Watch long way round and long way down. It's ewan mcgregor and his friend riding motorbikes from the UK to NYC by land and UK to cape horn
JumpingJackFlash
Watched it years ago. They helped inspire this trip.
Carmeiser
Awesome! I wish both were still on Netflix, they're such a good series
makeyourownpath
Outstanding ! Be safe !
JumpingJackFlash
My rule is “don’t be a dumb ass”. It’s worked so far!

DR650 is one hell of a awesome bike!
ILieForPoints
It's a bulletproof turd just like the XR650. I love them both.
JumpingJackFlash
Never one time has it failed to start on me! It’s for sale in Chile or Argentina if anyone wants to fly down and buy it!
slamdunkmyjunk
I'd be really interested to know why
DR650Dude
It's low tech. Easy to work on. Tons of aftermarket support. Doesn't break and if it does, it's easy to fix (Usually). Well Weighted
slamdunkmyjunk
Cool thanks!
DR650Dude
Anytime. I love my DR and I'll talk about it to anyone who'll listen. :P Any questions, ask away
Pantsufan

Wanna see more of your trip.
JumpingJackFlash
I’ll post more pics later tonight!
morecheeseplease
Are you going to Bolivia (salt flat part)? Went this past Summer, best place I've been so far.
JumpingJackFlash
I went but there was serious flooding and I barely got a few hundred meters into the flats before the water was 18 inches deep
Thehoffmiester
You look like those advchina guys
JumpingJackFlash
Don’t know those guys. Hope that’s a good thing haha.
Thehoffmiester
It's a good thing. Look them up on YouTube. It's two guys that go around China and talk about stuff while they are on a motorcycle

Caught the reference. Also I think their next mini series is actually Chilie to Canada
angryotterface
So rad. I did Colombia-Ecuador-Peru and back down the panamericana about 10 years ago with a buddy on a 125. I envy your journey now.
JumpingJackFlash
It’s been a legit trip so far. 6 months in atm.
fearandloathinginaz
Did you ever let off the throttle?
angryotterface
From sun up to sun down about 45-55 mph most the day. About couldn’t feel my butt after day three.
Prostatus
You realize now we expect a massive road trip photo journal, right?
JumpingJackFlash
I will post more photos later. I guess I should have posted earlier because I’m going home in a few weeks!
TimboJones
Just bought a DR350. Tough as nails.
ConDog362
Used to ride a DRZ-400S, most fun you can have with your clothes on
Anonawesome
I've put 30k miles on mine. Did a 13k mile trip all over the US while living off it only camping.
Anonawesome
If you ever have any questions about it, feel free to ask me, or the dr350 thread. advrider.com/f/threads/dr350-thread.230695
Anonawesome
Some real gurus there. I go by the same name.
chanbara84
Holy crap! A motorcycle ride through South America! You should keep a log. Name it something snappy, like, the motorcycle diaries. Or sum’in
JumpingJackFlash
I named my trip “there and back again” after the alternate title of the “the hobbit” which I loved as a kid.
Tinymargins
Did no one get your reference?? Lol
chanbara84
Just one!
burtstanton

JumpingJackFlash
KLR is a bit too heavy for me but they are still good bikes!
JimWasTaken
Badass, have a good one!
JumpingJackFlash
Thanks dude! 6 months in right now and it’s been incredible!
JimWasTaken
Would be keen to hear how it went if you ever get around to doing a follow up post.
JumpingJackFlash
I will post update tonight or tomorrow with a bunch of pics.
timetorn
How long does that take someone
schmobius
Longer than I've got PTO days for, I'm sure.
Anonawesome
Usually it's best to do "between jobs" when you've saved up a few grand.
JumpingJackFlash
I’m 6 months in right now. You could ride from the US to the tip in Maybe 4 if you did it fast.
